Barney,
I have to disagree. You can have the same level of redundancy with NAS as
you can with each server having it's own drives. We've been using NAS for
several years now, and we have never had any problem with connectivity to
our NAS (vs. the half dozen or so times over the years where we have had to
replace failed local hard drives).
I guess it all comes down to how much infrastructure you can afford to
build around the solution.

Subject: RE: [CFCDev] CFMX doc root as a Mounted Volume
I'd recommend against it. Having files mirrored across a cluster is a
piece
of cake. I personally use rsync to do it, but there are a multitude of
programs that'll do it. Just have a 'master' server that recieves all
updates from your staging servers and then propogates the updates across
the
cluster.
With a shared volume, you lose the redundancy that multiple servers
provides, because if the file server dies (or your network gets saturated),
then your whole cluster dies. If you do decided to go that route make sure
you turn on trusted cache (which will make you cycle CF after every
update),
so you don't have to check every file's timestamp over the network on every
request (potentially a HUGE waste of time).
Cheers,
