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.
