Hi Farkas,

I think a start is to look on PVFS2 (www.pvfs.org).

Or maybe using nbd and softwareraid ???

Neither will eliminate servers and disks as single points of failiure.

You can add standard raid for eliminating disk failures as points of failure.

Then there are drbd[1], ddraid[2] and (g)nbd + md for server raid.

I've been using drbd, and now I'm migrating to use ocfs2 + nfs on top of it.

Coda also has a replicated server mode, but my system exceeded the number of files supported by coda.
