You can emulate such access with GNBD or iSCSI or ATA over Ethernet (the
last of which I've never used) - essentially, GFS is for running on top
of shared block devices. How the block devices come to be shared GFS
doesn't care so much about. ( It is rumoured that the next version of
DRBD will provide active-active block device mirror pairs for use with
GFS, too.).
