Hi Junichi, you're not the only one... still I have to support Christian. GlusterFS started (in a few people's brains) about 1 1/2 years ago, and had its first code checked in about half a year ago. Nevertheless it looks very promising, despite or because its basic idea:
- the whole system is made of building blocks and operates in user space - FUSE is the only requirement in the kernel - the storage "translator" accesses the underlying filesystem - interconnects supported at the moment are GbE and IB - number of server and client nodes is fully scalable - you can even run more than one server on one box (and the client too) The next release (1.2.3) is due end of April. www.gluster.org/ has the details.
