No. GFS requires a unified, cluster viewable block device (like a SAN
based RAID device.  Or an iSCSI device or similar) 

To make that setup work, you will first need to use something to unify
all the disks and make them redundent.  (perhaps clvm mirroring with a
network block device?)

But I'm gonna try anyways.
