NFS is not scalable and reliable. There are lots of other options,
such as ISCSI, GFS, Lustre and etc. Some are software, some are
hardware, the problem in the end will just come down to performance,
reliability, scability. There's current no watchdog and hardware
synchronizer implementation on EC2 afasik, most solution will be hard
to be reliable and scalable. Of course amazon can implement better
native solution but I think it will be only done by user's demand.
