DMF and Clustered File Systems

Does anyone know if a file can span accross multiple devices
in a clustered file system?  Say that a file is created on a
particular device in a clustered file system.  As the file
continues to grow it fills the device that it was created on.
Will the remainder of the file be written to one of the other
devices in the cluster, or will the process writing to the 
file abend?

This becomes an interesting situation when the Data Migration
Facility and File System Monitoring are running on the
clustered file system.  Fsmon shows %used based on the whole
cluster of devices, but df shows the %free on each device.
Can I assume that fsmon knows what it is doing and that the
clustered file system need not be migrated until the entire
cluster hits the warning/critical threshold?

Thanks,
Gregg
