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-Administration_Guide-en-US.pdf I recommend you get on their mailing list and IRC channel. http://www.gluster.org/interact/ -- Sent from the Delta quadrant using Borg technology!
