This sort of clustering is available on a number of different operating
systems. If it is to be viewed as one filesystem by Samba, this is
obviously the wrong mailing list for this question, as the magic will be
done by the operating system. I recommend reading any documentation for
your operating system that might cover clustering and perhaps mail a
mailing list that covers your operating system.

Hope it helps,
