Basically, the question comes down to whether you have a centralized pool of storage you want to make available to lots of clients or whether you have lots of little bits of storage scattered all over the place you want to pool. If you are using nfs3, I'll assume the former. In that case, nfs4 might work well for you. You might also want to consider Red Hat's cluster suite and/or GFS, or OCFS (the Oracle Cluster FS). GFS and OCFS support is in the latest kernels and they are both available under the GPL and I would imagine can be made to work with Debian. At this point I am leaning toward GFS for the deployment at work. Not having deployed any of these yet, I can't give you any more detailed info. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C.
