karthik Terminology wise you cannot share a repository across nodes. So that is a big con :)
But if you mean can i share something like a network mounted drive by giving each node its own mount pointa for its repos then sure that works fine. In such a case you need to have strong iops provisioning, you need to realize there will be higher roundtrip times for rw ops. But in general this can be managed.
