badly imprecise question. you may share any filesystem.
Not sure what you want to achieve. No explanation of "raided" - this means
nothing without precise description.
If you ask what i do commonly then i would do 8 gmirror-based RAID1
volumes, and standard UFS filesystem on each with softupdates (or
softupdates+journal).
And move as much as possible software directly to machine. Never create
another level of indirection (like NFS) when not needed.
if you really HAVE to use NFS heavily i strongly recommend using unfsd
from ports and patch if to AVOID constant fsync, and make sure UPS is
installed.
NFS protocol is terrible by design (not by implementation) resulting in
all writes being done synchronously.
