I'm working on a config right now which uses some modifications to the 
Murder infrastructure and a shared filesystem on a SAN, so that multiple 
servers can access the same mailstore to provide load balancing and/or 
high availability.  The storage is still a single point of failure, but 
if you have a good array (e.g. Hitachi) with redundant controllers and 
redundant HBAs on the servers, the exposure is limited.

If/when the project is completed and running in production, more details 
will follow.
