 know how it fares and compares to Sistina's?

I haven't used either.  OpenGFS hasn't released anything yet
(you have to get it from CVS) but they want to fix a bunch of
security issues they've found and tidy up the code before
releasing it.

Sistina's version has moved on from the GPL version, but there
is some concern that they may be violating the GPL and that
their code might still contain the security problems that
OpenGFS is fixing.

I have nothing to do with either project, so I don't know all
the details.  Have a look at their web sites.

Sistina's GFS web site is http://www.globalfilesystem.com/ which
redirects to http://www.sistina.com/products_gfs.htm.

 Hello,
 
 We are looking replacement for SunCluster (2*e450) mail server and would
 preferally like to do it with x86/linux cluster software can be commercial
 or free.
 
 What software are currently used to build these? Requirment is that 
 the media is replicated and locking functions properly so we can pop
 machines in/out and all user accounts/all mail still works only if
 one server is pop out load on other machines just increses slightly.
 
 There can't be any SPOF.
