GFS and OCFS2 are among the more popular cluster-aware filesystems. RedHat
distros support GFS by default; SuSE distros tend toward OCFS. There are a few
others, too - a couple more open source and quite a few commercial offerings.

You're almost certainly not using a cluster-aware filesystem if you're seeing
this behavior - if you mount a filesystem on more than one machine at a time
you *must* use a cluster-aware filesystem - otherwise you *will* corrupt your
filesystem and lose the contents.
