Hi,
Well, you can take a look around at Oracle Cluster File System.
I've been using it, for a while, and so far so good.
It's free, runs on top of Linux, and despite it's name , it's not a file system only for Oracle apps, and it's part of the kernel since version 2.6.16 .
Check it at http://oss.oracle.com/projects/ocfs2/
Best regards,
Bruno Sousa
