You may want to look into other fault-tolerant parallel distributed file systems. Proprietary: Panasas file system. It seem to work fine at our university HPC center. Open source: POHMELFS (into kernel 2.6.30) and Ceph (into kernel 2.6.34). I have only tried Ceph of those and it was a while ago, around the same time I played around with GlusterFS. There are others - here is a list on Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_file_systems#Distributed_parallel_fault-tolerant_file_systems --jerker
