infortrand RAID's allow fault-tolerant scheme with two or more servers,
but it is a problem to mount the same UFS from different servers ...

u can mount disk RW only for one server, after first server fail,
the second server run fsck and mount disk (or mount disk RO) ...
it is not good, but we use this scheme ...

may be JFS :)
