i've actually been reading on ocfs2 and it looks quite promising. According to this presentation:
http://www.gpaterno.com/publications/2010/dublin_ossbarcamp_2010_fs_comparis...
ocfs2 seems to work quite well with lots of small files (typical of maildir). I'm guessing that since ocfs2 reboot a system automatically, it doesn't require any additional fencing?
I did not see that on my tests, chmod take really long, as to rm files is even longer.
how many users are we talking about ?
And we are not using any fence device with the ocfs2 because it reboots when anything goes wrong.

Where are all the glusterfs users in this thread... There are at least a couple of folks here using such a system? Any comments on how it's working out for you?
