All the modern storage cabinets have two data ports (mine has two
SCSI320 ports) so they can be attached to two servers. But what kind
of file system can you use that would make that data available to both
servers?

Splitting the storage in half isn't an option, as that doesn't give
added redundancy.

I've head of GFS and Coda, but I can't find any information about how
stable these file systems are on FreeBSD 6.x.

What do/would you use to share a storage device between two servers?
