Wouldn't DRBD or other high-availability software be a better fit?
AFAIK, DBRD works at the block level, automatically transmitting
disk-level updates from one server to the other.

(DRBD is still on my to-do list for this month or next. We're running
our SVN server inside a Xen guest and I need to get things setup so that
I can move it between a pair of Xen servers.)
