AIUI, MD isn't cluster-{aware,safe} though, so I could end up with all
the servers that can see the physical disks trying to do stuff with the
mirrors individually, making a horrible mess?
(In my configuration, all servers mount the iSCSI devices and I'm using
LVM/clvmd to allow them to keep everything sane and remove any single
point of failure.)

Perfect. That's exactly what I was after. Thank you.
