OpenSSI + DRBD provides that functionaility.. but the integration of DRBD into OpenSSI isn't ready (last I heard, there was working code but it had problems) If you are looking for cheap shared disk hardware, you can get an external Firewire IDE disk. (e.g. Maxtor OneTouch allows 4 'logins' to the drive) I haven't tried it yet, but I guess GFS should be able to run on it.
