            nodes will always be in active mode as one node is having
             higher priority in Failover Domain  in one cluster and the
            other node has higher priority in the other  cluster as
            shown above. This means that  both the file system resource
            will always be available in either of the nodes.  And  if  a
            node goes down  ' suppose system1.example.com ' which is
            active in 'ClusterA' , cluster ,  the file system resource   /data1 on the cluster will be mounted on system2.example.com which is already having /data2  mounted on  'ClusterB'

     Nothing intentional here . Was initially trying to check whether it is possible to create two different clusters using same nodes and
     chosen ext3 for this.
     Is it not going to be a useful feature if we allow same nodes to be used in different clusters ? 

Thanks
