I am not sure I have understood exactly what you want or need here.

Why not install an external RAID chassis with a dual channel controller?
SCSI or fibrechannel, and connect each channel to one of the HA cluster
nodes? You can implement any RAID type you like on the external array
(given of course that the controller supports it).


If you'tr're looking for a clustered filesystem which will cope with HA
type failover, then I back up Michael's recommendation to look at
Lustre.  There is documentation on the Lustre site for configuring
Lustre to work with Linux-HA. We have this working.

(Actually, there is a small patch to the HA script which does the disk
mounting, specifically the exclude list of filesystems which are not
fsck'd when mounted. As lustre is another filesystem type it has to be
added.)
