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
