Currently I have around 3 terrabytes of storage across a number of |
| 2 |
gentoo machines (4 at the moment) - at any one time 1/2 to 1 terrabyte |
| 3 |
is unused, but mostly in scattered chunks. Some space is exported via |
| 4 |
NFS and samba for backups and shared files. |

What I would really like is a file system that would unify these spaces |
| 7 |
and present them to the network as storage space - ideally with |
| 8 |
redundant data storage so one or more machines can dissappear and the |
| 9 |
data is still available. |

AFS is not quite what I want (or maybe it is, but it doesn't seem to |
| 12 |
handle transient storage duplication) |

I have a memory of seeing a beast that does this in the past but cant |
| 15 |
remember what it is - any suggestions? |
