If you need general file storage on Dom0 or DomUs, I think Gluster is a great option. However if your looking to store xen image files, I think you need to keep looking. We run DRBD between pairs servers in 4 TB primary / primary for xen image files and then one 12T Gluster across all servers for general file storage. ><> Nathan Stratton CTO, BlinkMind, Inc. nathan at robotics.net nathan at blinkmind.com http://www.robotics.net http://www.blinkmind.com
