The previous thread seems to have drifted slightly, so let me ask the
highly-nonhypothetical question: which distributed filesystem? Basically
I'm looking for an NFS replacement that is transparent to the users,
high-performance, fault tolerant and above all reliable! (Easy of set up
and World Peace highly desirable.)

The options would seem to be:

* AFS
*GFS
* Lustre

Coda seems a bit research orientated, Intermezzo has been dropped and
its founders are apparently working on Lustre.

Any experiences?

John
