I'm not sure that it would be particularly easy to make nova-volume support clustered filesystems; the current model only supports attaching a volume to a single instance at a time. Aside from that, it shouldn't be too hard to use fc as the data path instead of iscsi. We're looking at using iSER in a similar capacity. -nld
