It seems that you have to analyse your problem a bit more.
There are 5 main types of clusters (or server-farms as you call it): - parallel computing - high availability - load balancing - storage cluster - database cluster
Of course these overlap in functionality but so they say :) In many cases those goals are achievable with "share nothing" in kernel level: lam/mpi, ipvs, hartbeat, lvm etc. Well, about filesystems I am not sure at moment :)
Please analyse your need to create "as it was one big machine" because maybe it is not the solution you really need.
thanks, Indrek
