How so? Shared disk doesn't use replication. The point I was trying to
make is that replication requires synchronization between two disparate
servers, and verifying they have exactly the same data is a non-trivial
exercise. Even a single transaction after a failover (effectively)
negates the old server because there's no easy "catch up" mechanism yet.

Even if this isn't necessarily true, it's the safest approach IMO.
