Anyone considered or used OpenFiler? It's based on CentOS. http://www.openfiler.com/
Damn that looks sweet! I didn't even know about it! CentOS 3-based.
I'm sure they haven't addressed failover and many other concerns, and it's not an "all-in-one" like old SME Server (fka E-Smith), but it's definitely a nice, entry-level "Filer".

I saw snapshots mentioned as well, which work quite well under kernel 2.4 and LVM (i.e., CentOS 3).
