I was covering my **** on that one. Sods law dictates as soon as I say
'never' we'll discover an issue.

I've spent a week looking at the likes of PVFS, GFS, Lustre and a whole
host of different systems, including pNFS (NFS 4.1)
At the risk of diverting the thread away from the SATA backend, is there
any recommendation for a fault tolerant file service.
I'm really looking for 3 or 4 boxes to store data/metadata to support 10
Apache and Dovecot servers.
The things I don't like are having a single metadata server be a single
point of failure.

John
