Oh? How so? The file would be a bit long, but even with ten definitions
it should still be manageable. Particularly so if you use a tool like luci.

I didn't follow that question. Rather, that sounds like a much bigger
question...

If '/opt/app' is local to each node, containing separate installs of the
application, it should be fine. However, I expect this is not the case,
of you'd not be asking.

If, on the other hand, '/opt/app' is a shared storage (ie: an NFS mount,
GFS2 partition, etc) then it should still be fine. Look again at that
link and search for '/xen_shared'. That is a common chunk of space
(using clvmd and gfs2) which is un/mounted by the cluster and it is
mounted in the same place on all nodes (and uses the same LV device name).

If I am not answering your question, please ask again. :)
