Not at all. Your cluster will share the initnode's filesystem by
default; that's what CFS is for. Normally, however, if your initnode
fails, the entire cluster goes down. Root failover is a solution of
this: if you have other machines connected to the same physical storage
as your initnode (e.g. NAS), or an emulation of it (DRBD), in the case
of initnode failure, another machine can take over, and the cluster
stays up.
