Tru64 Unix with TruCluster supports this, but it isn't cheap.
TruCluster is a "single system image" type cluster, where there is one
view of the filesystem shared among cluster members (using a shared
storage array of some type).

Just don't try to run Tru64/TruCluster 5.1B with enhanced security and
cluster members with multiple CPUs - there's a locking problem somewhere
that really sucks. :-)
