At the University of Georgia we used IBM's DCE/DFS for our email/web cluster.
That is really the only distributed file system that I've used that actually
works as advertised. But, make sure you keep a dev cluster around; we had
gotten to the point where there were a lot of bugs in our implementation and
we couldn't upgrade. Thus we were forced to reboot the cluster once a week
to maintain stability.
