It's not just "if 2 systems access it at the same time" - the filesystem itself my get corrupted (yes, I've seen journaled filesystems get corrupted.) Which means the filesystem on a SAN becomes a single point of failure. For this reason, I have a 3rd MySQL server set up as a slave replication server to my clustered MySQL database. It provides that extra layer of protection against this SPoF. Food for thought. --Jeff SME - UNIX OpSource Inc.
