Hi all, This is inspired by the thread about GlusterFS. I am new to distributed filesystems, and am trying to figure out the differences between all of them. It seems like there are many, and some provide a different means to clustering, but I cannot quite figure out if there are major differences, or if they all do the same thing of striping files across different storage servers over a network. Perhaps someone could provide some insight and talk about the major differences between some of these different options. Here is a list of some apps I have found: * Oracle OCFS2 * Lustre * MogileFS * GlusterFS * Hadoop * Cleversafe * Parallel Virtual File System (seems to lack redundancy if I am not mistaken) Thanks so much, Jordan
