GlusterFS hopefully should a good job for you. Already updated the road map! -- Anand Babu
I'm using Postfix within a Gentoo Linux cluster and my e-mail files are stored in a Maildir. And that's why I can't use Lustre: it needs a metadata server and every file on the storage means another one in the MDS. So, if I have many millions of small files them Lustre is not a very good option and GlusterFS is just perfect. Best regards, Daniel Colchete
