Clustering is for Websites, Databases, University/Research Computing and Render Farms.

Unless you plan on using it for a website, or writing a program that will utilize a cluster -- there isn't really any point to making one. Is there?

Or, a GFS, i guess.

Something like multipathing/bonding.

dude,

Please be specific about your environment and cluster. Multipathing and bonding are a part of redundancy to the connected device and networking.

What OS you are using ?
Does your cluster is HA or LB?

bonding (as I understand the word) has *nothing* whatsoever to do with clustering.

Ok...which one?

Multipathing most often refers to having multiple paths to a SAN connected device, out multiple HBA's. Bonding is done with network devices, for IP connectivity.
