I've had no problems with clustering software on AS 2.1, but i've had major
problems with fiber storage that caused some serious downtime. Whatever
cluster you put up, the storage is still a single point of failure. The
storage AND a filesystem there.

I don't know how SAN boxen like ibm shark & co do in such cases, i hope they
do much better than JBOD and software raid :)
