since this is the centos list, I really didn't want to suggest this, but if I was building a 20 or 40TB or whatever storage server, I do believe I'd be strongly consider using Solaris, or one of its variants like OpenIndiana, with ZFS.
ZFS was engineered from the ground up to scale to zetabytes
I was actually considering this but then came news that Oracle was killing OpenSolaris and likely to be pushing OCFS so decided I probably don't want to have something come bite me a year or two down the road. I'm not sure how things developed since then though.
But based on your recommendation and Christopher Chan's, it would seem like you guys don't think that long term support/updates would be an issue for ZFS?
