I know you're not, but it isn't clear to me that you realise that this is a direct recipe for corruption and disaster. A filesystem expects sole access to whatever block device it stores its data on. Two systems with the same block device mounted (i.e. via iscsi) _will_ walk all over its data structures without coordination, and _will_ mangle your data. NFS or equivalent is definitely the go: you want _file_ level sharing, not _block_ level sharing, because that way the system managing "files" out of a block device is just one system (the remote system holding the device). An NFS (or equivalent - cifs, sshfs etc) mount is essentially a file based proxy to a remote mounted tree.
