A hosting project I'm working on needs a large filesystem to be available on multiple hosts and to be continually mirrored.
- A pair of NFS servers
rsyncing master to slave - feeble - Coda - looks good but project appears dead (though has current kernel support on both FreeBSD and Linux), 32bit limitation on metadata restricts fs size.
- Lustre - shiny, very current, Linux-only
I will play with Lustre on a pair of lab boxes
Really, I want to do something with ZFS - it has features galore.
