Thanks John and Chris for your commentary. I'm constantly amazed at what is out there -- projects I didn't know existed. I think Chris and I are looking for something similiar -- fault tolerant/high-availability over slow/fast links with ease of administration and (ideally) zero downtime. I'd like to virtualize my storage along with my Xen machines. After looking at AFS again, I was wrong about a couple of things. In the unstable AFS tree, there is no longer a 2GB file size limit and volumes can be much larger. AFS has many cool features, including local caching, online resizing, hot server add/remove, etc. Other than requiring hardware redundancy, what's wrong with AFS? Doesn't look all that difficuly to get working. (I've never used it, just read the docs). I've not come across AFS in corp. production environments. They all seem to use EMC storage accessed with NFS (at least the Solaris shops anyway).
