Wondering if anyone can help me out. I'm looking for clustering software (?) that will allow me to take 3 PCs, each with a 20GB HD for example, and combine them to form one 60GB "disk" that could be mounted from a client, and appear as one big disk. I'd imagine I'd need some kind of a front end box that the clients would connect to. I'd also like, but not necessary, the way that it would distribute the data NOT to be something like RAID0, where part of the data is on one server, and part on another...so if one server in the cluster were to fail, the other data would still be accessible. Does anyone have ANY ideas on how this could be done, or what software I should look at? I've been told by some friends who are big RedHat fans that Beowulf could probably do this, but that's Linux based...and I'd rather stick with FreeBSD.
