Something like a Global File System? http://www.redhat.com/software/rha/gfs/ (I believe some other company did develop it some time in the past; hmm, probably the guys doing LVM stuff?). Anyway the idea is that two machines have same filesystem mounted and they share it. The locking I believe is handled by communication between computers using "host to host" SCSI commands. I never used it, I've only heard about it from a friend who used to work with it in CERN.
