Looking for suggestions regarding cluster filesystems for linux

The sysadmin has installed the Oracle Grid infrastructure and configured ASM.

The current plan is to install Oracle RDBMS on each node of the cluster. I don't have a problem with that.

We do, however, have a ton of scripts, which in turn generate a lot of logs and reports, and will get run on the node where the database is running.

Currently, if we have 16 databases, 4 on each node, the output for 1 report for each database will end up on one of the 4 nodes. If we need to change a script or add a new script, we need to do the same thing 4 times. We can keep the files in sync across the nodes via rsync, but it would be so much easier if we could have a shared filesystem for our scripts.

The current plan is to use NFS to mount a shared filesystem, but I'm wondering if there are any other suggestions that anyone has. Do others have nothing but databases on clustered systems, or do you also have users on these systems and thus need to deal with the same issue?
