cluster file system...? How do I get one in FreeBSD.

NFS, HAST and iSCSI all seem do something different
from what I need.
In my case both nodes (actually I have more than two,
but it's perhaps easier to explain with just two)
have direct fibre access to the storage, no network required.
Also, it makes no sense to delegate one node
a server and another a client in my setup.
I'd like them to be identical,
so that access to the data
is equally possible if either node fails. 

The disk array alreay provides multiple levels
of RAID, so I don't need this.

So is something like this really does not
exist on FreeBSD (yet) ?

Thanks
