You will also need a filesystem that supports shared storage.
Sistina's Global File System (GFS) is the only such filesystem
available for Linux, afaik (at only $995 per node; shared storage is
NOT easy to implement). If you do not have such a filesystem, you will
most likely completely trash your filesystem when you mount it from the
2nd machine.
iSCSI/FibreChannel is not NFS. It is block-level access to raw storage
just like SCSI or IDE.
