To do shared storage you need either a network file system or a cluster file system if any file every changes when mounted by any client. Ext3 read only is fine but with any writer is not. There are a couple of options on the clusterfs side - Oracle OCFS2, Red Hat GFS. You can also use a network file system for exporting, and on PC class hardware at least this can sometimes outperform a clusterfs when heavy writing is going on.
