The advantage depends on the alternatives: If two nodes both want to access the 
same filesystem, you can use OCFS2, NFS, or CIFS (list not complete). If only 
one node can access a filesystem, you could try any journaled filesystem (a 
fsck is needed after a node crash).

If you use NFS or CIFS, you shift the problem to another machine.

If you use a local filesystem, you need recovery, mount, and start of your 
application on a standby node.

With OCFS2 you'll have to wait for a few seconds before your application can 
continue.

Note that a usual SCSI disk with read-errors can also delay I/O significantly 
while retrying I/O.
