For this kind of setup, true cluster filesystems like Lustre,
PVFS2/OrangeFS, Gluster, Ceph... would be much better. Striping 20
iSCSI volumes across would be awfully dangerous.

I'd go with OrangeFS (pvfs.org) because I'm pretty happy with it so far
(using XFS as the underlying local filesystem). It's precisely made to
agreggate computing clusters storage.
