Sorry but if the OP uses a shared disk, using web node one as the master for adding the disk as "Thick Provision Eager Zeroed" and then adds that disk to the second node by just browsing to it then there is HA as any node can go down and the other node will still have access to disk

OCFS2 is for multiple clients and not data clusters. Yes one can use DRBD with OCFS2, but on its own OCFS2 is just a cluster aware file system with locking. It knows that more than one node will be accessing the same disk and uses file locking. It works perfectly well with a shared disk on multiple web nodes, I have built dozens of Moode setups using 2 x web nodes both sharing a disk across a SAN using OCFS2
