So, my question is that. Any other aproach to get an Active-Active file Server? Not with NFS, since NFS has no feature to have multiple servers/share. But there is no reason you can't connect half of the clients to the other server. I haven't realized about it, it could be a solution. one thing, I have been investigating about it, and I have thought it could be possible using Linux Virtual Server (administered with piranha), what do you think about it?
I think you need to start to list your requirements in a coherent manner first, in terms of performance, features, and redundancy. The solution you should be looking for will be more obvious then.
If you need client-side multi-homing, GlusterFS can do that. in this project I only can use red hat certified solutions. I suposse GlusterFS isn't,
Hmm, personally I find that sticking with only what ships with the distro to be too limiting as soon as you need to cover a use-case that isn't very basic and boring. But if you are looking for a "supported" solution, Gluster Inc. do have support contracts available.
But without more information on your use-case and expected access patterns, it is impossible to suggest a solution in a particularly meaningful way.
