Is the "upstream" Storage Server fully open source, or are parts of it closed source?
Are the RPMs to build one already in the Centos repo? If not, are there any plans to offer them?
I am looking for something free to use in Haiti, that will offer redundant file storage and automatic failover to a second set of hardware in case of a failure of the primary hardware.
Ted,
Redhat Storage is based on GlusterFS which is fully open source and it works very well on Centos. You can install it from http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/kkeithle/glusterfs/epel-6/
A relatively recent guide here: http://www.gluster.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Gluster_File_System-3.3.0-...
I recommend you get on their mailing list and IRC channel. http://www.gluster.org/interact/
