I know the Tru64 5.1 Cluster does have file systems
which can be mounted by both nodes simultaneously.
You can even write to the files from both nodes --- but
not sure if you can write to the *same* file simultaneously
from both nodes.
However, my question was "Compaq Tru64 Unix running NTFS ?"
because your original question was about NTFS v Raw Disk.
NTFS is not a Unix or Tru64 Unix file system.
