Hello, Unfortunately, at government, budget priorities are "weird" and "after the fact". I have to use what is available to the task now. SAN is not an option by now. In 2005, someone at this list tried GFS+CLVM+GNBD and it was a bit flaky, but working. Well, more than a year passed. Are these components more robust today? Regards.
