Cobalt had a product called StaQWare that would do just that --
real-time "RAID" sync between two boxes directly connected via
Ethernet. But it was EOL'd a long time ago, and I'm not sure how
stable it ended up being. We never sold much of it...
None of the 'modern' kernel updates have support for it anyway, so
you'd be relegated to using an 'ancient' kernel on any boxes that
were running StaQWare.
I know that we were 'partnered' with PolyServe - they had a PCI card
plugin that would allow clustering of up to 10 boxes, and/or do
replication etc between them. I'd recommend checking them out.
