GlusterFS is a clustered file system that runs on commodity
off-the-shelf hardware, delivering multiple times the scalability
and performance of conventional storage. The architecture is
modular, stackable and kernel-independent, which makes it easy to
customize, install, manage and support different operating systems.
Multiple storage systems can be clustered together, supporting
petabytes of capacity in a single global namespace. Building a
configuration of a few hundred terabytes can be accomplished in
less than thirty minutes.
GlusterFS 2.0 Release: GlusterFS v2.0 has gone through a major
revamp in design and development since v1.3. Thanks to thousands of
initial users who provided us great feedback and bug reports.
There are a number of production deployments now. GlusterFS uses
existing disk file systems (such as Ext3, XFS, ZFS..) to store your
data as regular files and folders. You can restore the data, even
after you uninstall GlusterFS. So, give it a try and let us know.
Please forward this message to relevant users.
What is in 2.0 release:

License: GNU GPLv3
... and thus incompatible with the kernel.
GlusterFS is a user-space clustered file system so license
incompatibility is not such a big concern.
Thanks
Shehjar
