I have looked into glusterfs and I like it too. I > just haven't found the hardware to try it on. I "tested" it on 4 VMs.. The performance was crap as expected, but wanted to see how it behaves when I suddenly remove a node from the setup and so on.

No, I should've rephrased this, I meant the likes of raid10, of course, in Glusterfs "speak". Basically I had 2 pairs of replicated nodes and files stripped across all this. I even ran a VM on top of this VM based glusterfs setup.. not the speediest VM, but was usable. :-) -- Nux! www.nux.ro
