http://ctdb.samba.orgIt is designed to use a cluster filesystem (such as GlusterFS) shared amongst a cluster that can reexport the filesystem from multiple members of the cluster as if they were one (LVS-style). Although obviously intended for Samba, it should work for NFS, too (they have instructions for it).
So, you could have a cluster exporting GlusterFS, parallel CIFS, and parallel NFS! A fault-tolerant, high-performance fileserving jack-of-all-trades; very cool (could make an incredible NAS product; add more bricks, serve them up in parallel, handle redundancy and failover)...
Of course, NFS reexport has to work first (SAMBA already seems to work fine on GlusterFS).
