I've seen very few scenarios where OCFS2 was worth it over just using a
"regular" file system like XFS in a fail-over configuration in this kind
of environment.
(If you need mirroring on top of shared devices / SAN, the way to go is
OCFS2 over cLVM2 mirroring, by the way.)
There *are* good use cases for OCFS2. In my experience, 80% of the
scenarios out there ain't one of those ;-)
