To get around this single point of failure try using a clustered file
system/distributed file system. In particular in you have a SAN(which
should have a ridiculous amount of fault tolerance built into it) you
could use GFS, OCFS2, ASMFS, ZFS, or any number of other file systems
with similar technology.  Combine this with a decent load balancer tech,
and you should be able to have a pretty scalable/fault tolerant dokuwiki
install that is just as robust as a "clustered db"
