G'day Brian, I've played around with OCFS2 and AoE in combination with Xen and they seem to work alright.
I did have to increase the hearbeat timout for OCFS2 because all the machines would think the SAN went offline when there was _heavy_ load. Works a treat now that the timeout has been increased though.
