Hi:

OCFS2 (Oracle cluster file system libraries) specifically written for
clusterware for Oracle RAC (real application cluster)

They package this often for latest kernel versions and release it here:
http://oss.oracle.com/projects/ocfs2/files/

If you have an enterprise license for RH, GFS would be first choice. If you
are looking for something free OCFS (or) DRBD with Linux-HA fits nicely for
a poor man solution. I have used OCFS2 without much pain and planning to
test out the latter soon.

If you are curious will definitely keep you posted on the outcomes.
