Have you considered using glusterfs for improved reliability and speed?
The
more bricks you add the better the throughput and failsafe meaning, with hundreds of servers, that you could have a very impressive filesystem. Of course, it does stress your entire network and would only be feasible
within
a single datacenter, preferably on a single rack.
Wasn't well received among the high end storage crowd, based on discussions at FAST this year.
But that's secondhand - I haven't used it myself. YMMV.
We switched our cluster and lab from nfs to glusterfs and it's been a dream. There is also the possibility of getting better random read speeds than you can get out of a 15k rpm drive.
