I assumed a Gluster context. In order to cluster on gluster, you'll need CTDB to keep the locking between the nodes consistent so you don't run into the issues you mentioned with DFS-R from your mail. (I don't use DFS-R, and I haven't.) If you have multi-site replication... you probably want it async, unless you have really good links or low throughput requirements :).
