     If you are not focused on penny pinching to the exclusion of all else, then a robust and time tested clusterware solution is indeed quite valuable. It would be very hand to not need to deal with the BS associated with OCFS2 or ASM.  

     Then again, you don't even believe in robust storage hardware.

     You're a posterboy for the sort of mentality that I am talking about. It seems more prevalent with the Linux shops that tend to think the apparent savings brought by Linux mean that it's open season to cut all sorts of corners everywhere. It can be a Postgre shop or an Oracle shop but it works out the same.
