Thanks for the reminder of MooseFS.

I've ran across it before. There are a bunch like it. They tend to be
either very complicated to set up, or immature and incomplete. One
really needs some first-hand reviews.

I know Rich Braun has written here many times on GlusterFS (gluster.org).

Whether one can get one of these to run on appliance hardware with their
hacked up Linux firmware is another matter.
