As I understand it, Coraid will allow multiple machines to mount a
volume, it just doesn't handle the synchronization. So you can have
more than one machine use it, you just need GFS to keep it
synchronized.
I am in the process of building a system like this. I don't have both
hosts accessing the storage yet, but Coraid assures me that it is
possible.
