GlusterFS *is* a clustered filesystem. Provided you use replication, it 
is a HA network share all by itself. You don't need to put it on top of 
another clustered filesystem. You especially cannot use the /same/ 
filesystem for multiple bricks.

In your other email, you suggested that you could scp to the same target 
from two clients when your bricks were xfs. If you're mounting the 
glusterfs volume on your client(s) (mount -t glusterfs) and accessing 
your same file through those mountpoints, that wouldn't happen. Standard 
posix locking would happen and only one client could write to the file 
at once.
