Yep, http://www.drbd.org/home/mirroring/

"DRBD's primary-primary mode with a shared disk file system (GFS, OCFS2). 
These systems are very sensitive to failures of the replication network. 
Currently we cannot generally recommend this for production use."

Are they matured enough for production use? Although I find several hints 
about these three systems, none I've read so far claims that one of them 
is ready.
