[Linux-cluster] GFS newbie question

Hello,

I would like to know if it is possible to run GFS on a cluster *without*
external storage, i.e. without a NAS and with each GFS node a GNBD
server itself. Is it possible to implement disk redundancy in such a 
configuration,
as pictured on Fig 1.3 of the GFS manual? The simplest configuration
being:
node #1: Disk A, Disk B' (mirror of B on node #2)
node #2: Disk B, Disk A' (mirror of A on node #1)

Thanks,
Fabrice
