Hi,
You can take a look at http://www.moosefs.org.
It is a network, fault-tolerant FS, posix compliant, allows snapshots,
uses fuse, your code doesn't need to be changed to access the FS. You
can easily choose the number of replicas of files/dirs you want. It is
easy to deploy, runs in user-space. Some people runs it successfully on
500+TB. Plus, I've made a CentOS repo here:
http://centos.kodros.fr/moosefs.repo
Regards,
Laurent
