There are Linux-based clustered filesystems already extant.  It's generally
more efficient, I think, to do the clustering at a higher level than down at
the device level (I haven't read those documents, but "ATA over Ethernet"
sounds pretty low-level to me).

You might take a look at the stuff in OpenSSI, http://www.openssi.org/,
for a few pointers or ideas.  Certainly there's a clustered file system
there but it's by no means the only one.
