They should have the file-locking problem solved, and should perform better than sshfs, much less NFS or SAMBA. You need iSCSI to export the clustered file system. The only difference is a clustered file system lets more than one computer mount it. This should work in your situation, but you'll have to setup fencing correctly. Still in the end-user file sharing scenario SMB and NFS still are the best methods. I'm not going to deal with a clustered file system for hundreds of users. Fuse hasn't been widely adopted in the end-user world especially with Windows clients, etc. > > > --- On Tue, 10/27/09, Ryan Wagoner <rswagoner@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> No NFS and Samba are not ancient bloatware.
