Hi Christopher! GFS (Global File System) is for Red Hat Linux, but GPL, if you have the programming muscle to port it. http://www.redhat.com/software/rha/gfs/ But does MySQL support accessing one file storage from two separate servers? Even with GFS, applications must play along and do _proper_ filelocking without hanging on to exclusive locks unnecessarily. Also, if you really do need to go with a cluster file system, you probably easily have the pennies necessary for buying Red Hat and GFS subscriptions and do it that way, considering that proper shareable SAN storage is not (yet) available for a butterbread. The el-cheapo variant of SAN storage would be iSCSI. As for ftp; replication or NFS probably are the cheapest solutions.
