I don't have direct experience with GFS - just via the Docs.  It works with shared LUNs, but what are the performance costs?
Pushing the data along with state metadata in real time across the net.  It may be slow unless you are local or have low latency connections.
I certainly wouldn't try to run an Oracle instance on it. ;-)
