I've used an NFS/Gb based VIP failover on a NAS setup on Red Hat Enterprise.. 
but it wasn't truly a cluster filesystem.. Just a NAS with two filesystems, a 
hearbeat and a quorum filesystem for shared tracking.

The way to go now (on Linux at least) is GFS (Global FileSystem):

Download it, check it out:

Let me know if you play with it or not.. I've been meaning to.. but haven't 
had the time (or project that needed it).
