I just found this one:

So we can make a Linux box an iSCSI target, freaking sweet.
Now we can put the clustered initiators in the front with some targets behind.
s--- yea!

Similar to what Isilon does but with Gentoo. I've been reading the web sites about the

stuff in /usr/portage/sys-fs/

but I cannot tell which package is going to give me the "right stuff". Can anyone point me

in the right direction?


Well, I've been collection information as I have a 'large' need for remote video
surveillance. Here are the general approaches I've seen related to clustering
and large data storage needs, from a cost-effective point of view:

OPenmosix has some beta offerings that run on 2.6 based servers.

From the Linux Journal, May 2005 there is an article
"Building a Bioinformatics Supercomputering Cluster" that may be of interest.

Also from the Linux Journal, june 2005 it talks about ATA over Ethernet:

I'd be interested in any other clustering or
'high availability' technologies you find for
Gentoo.

HTH,

James
