[gentoo-user] OT: aggregating filesystem

[Bill Kenworthy]

Is there such a thing as a linux network filesystem that aggregates
storage across a few machines?  I am not talking about dedicated chunk
servers and the like, but something that can make available a the unused
space on a number of machines (desktops, servers, ...) by aggregating
and making available the space to the network. Is afs (or coda?) what I
am after?

I have used ceph, but its minimum requirements are way to heavy for a
small network,moosefs looks to be similar and as dedicated storage,
that's not what I am after.
