I use gfs2 quite a bit, but not nfs.

Can I make a suggestion? Don't use gfs2 for this.

You will have much better performance if you use an active/passive
failover with a non-clustered FS. GFS2, like any cluster FS, needs to
have the cluster handle locks which is always going to be slower (by a
fair amount) than traditional internal FS locking.

The common NFS HA cluster setup is to have the cluster promote/connect
the backing storage (drbd/iscsi), mount the FS, start nfs and then take
a floating IP address.

GFS2 is an excellent FS for situations where it is needed, and should be
avoided anywhere possible. :)
