Distributed file system on FreeBSD: current status

Dear colleagues,

in short: ${SUBJ} ;)

Actually, most interesting areas for me are using free disk space on a hundred 
or so of our FreeBSD machines mostly acting as routers or one service-specific 
targets (and because they are very dependent on CPU resources (and former on 
bandwidth and latency also), they are not easy targets for virtualizing) -- 
argh, too long sentense, sorry ;)

The target usage for file system in question would be mostly-once-write 
and rare-but-bursty-reads storage like backups.

Stability is the first concern; scalability is possibly the second, and 
efficiency is always a surplus ;P

Any hints?  Thank you in advance!
