AFS, Coda, etc. all seem to be massively complex from what I've seen... they don't seem to be exactly what I'm looking for. I can't really put it to words (I have a client issue that just came up, I have to go run for that)
iSCSI wouldn't be an SPOF if I had > 1 "head unit" accessing the same physical storage array (that has redundancy built in) would it? Since all iSCSI adapters would be communicating with the array?
