Yes, you can use GFS for this.
What you are most likely concerned about in this case is coherency (and
a file system that can tolerate multiple machines mounting). Note that
just because GFS is cluster-aware and won't corrupt itself, doesn't
mean your applications are suitably cluster-aware. A first question
you could ask yourself is, "Could I run multiple copies of my
application on the same node successfully?" If the answer is yes, then
you can probably run multiple copies of your app on different machines
when using GFS.

Dear all
I am having a question about Redhat GFS 6.1.
My setup is like these..
I have 4 nodes sharing a storage.All nodes will be concurrently
accessing the storage for taking the data files and it will be used by
the applications in these nodes.There is no need for a high
availability or load balancing.Each node is running a different
instance of the same application and each node will be accessing the
shared storage for same data.Whether I can use GFS 6.1 for the same.
Whether anybody implemented such a shared storage cluster without high
availability or load balancing
