there's also the commercial IBrix Fusion distributed file system. I've only seen demos and done a paper eval for a project that never materialized, it looked very interesting, but our requirements shifted, so we never got past the initial research stage... Its designed for very high performance filesystems, you dedicate some number of servers to manage the filesystem, then your applications talk to that cluster. It can work with both shared SAN attached storage, and per node direct attached storage, distributing the metadata management workload as well as the IO processing workload across the cluster, while maintaining full redundancy.
