Thanks. Saw it on a list of distributed FS but didn't click on it.
I was planning to take a look at AFS and Coda to start. Will also take a look at gluster, although so far it seems a Linux only FS.
I think you should at least try Coda, but don't spend too much time on it. It is mostly a research project. I don't know of anyone really using it in production use. Personally, I'm hoping that someone decides to take the interesting research concepts (disconnected operation) from Coda and port them to OpenAFS ;)
AFS has been in production at universities and a few fortune 500 companies for a long time, and several installations have upwards of 50,000 users.
