Except NFS doesn't follow normal filesystem semantics and you can end up with 
corrupt data without knowing it, and it, along with CIFS, will give you a free 
shitload of network overhead to go along with your possibly corrupt data. OCFS2 
or GFS are the only practical choices if you want it to behave like a typical 
filesystem and not have to worry about catering to it or rewriting software 
and/or reeducating developers, and OCFS2 is extremely easy to set up.

The original question didn't specify much about the requirements, though. A 
single shared filesystem? Read-write or read-only? No filesystem at all? 
Without that information, I would at first recommend not sharing. It can be a 
lot of trouble, it's usually not required, and it severely complicates life 
when things fail.

Well, there is always XenFS... :/
