NFS might be a viable system for making content available in a cluster, given
a highly available NFS sever (not that easy to do right, actually) and
provided that the bandwidth and latency is good enough for you; file locking
might also be a problem.
However, it is NOT a "CFS", which people commonly use to refer to a filesystem
which is distributed and usually shares the same storage system connected to
all nodes.
I believe there might be a confusion of words here ;-)
