I'm not. :)

The original poster was describing a read-mostly environment where all
writes occured on a single master server.  Under those conditions you
could safely mount the f/s read-only on the slave server though
you'd have to make sure that you called sync(2) afetr every write or
could accept some slight discrepencies bewteen master & slave.

Anything more involved than that needs the cooperation of the two
kernels involved, hence my comment about gfs.
