In the 2.4 implementation, providing this one capability by leveraging devfs was quite economic, efficient and has been very stable.
I wonder if device-mapper (slightly hacked) wouldn't be a better approach for 2.6+.
It appeared from the original posting that their "cluster-wide devfs" actually supported all types of device nodes, not just block devices. I don't know whether accessing a character device on another node would ever be useful, but certainly using device-mapper wouldn't help for that case.
