I meant to say that is *VERY* sound advice. Roughly speaking if you had 
not already worked out just about everything in that email and more 
besides you should not be rolling your own GPFS/Samba/CTDB solution 
because you don't know what you are doing and it will likely end in 
tears at some point.
