Slightly off topic but, btw, there is a port of GLusterFS and those folks do seem
interested in seeing it brought "up to speed". I am not sure how mature it is at
this point, but it has been known to build on amd64. (I don't have an amd64 machine,
so I haven't gotten around to building/testing it, but I do plan to try and use
it as a basis for a pNFS server, if I can figure out how to get the FH info out of it.
I'm working on that;-)
