required that you buy their storage.  Also the licensing of
GPFS was based on the quantity of storage, which I didn't like.

HP's version of Lustre (SFS) is also capacity-licensed
(and I agree, it's a customer-hostile policy.)

I really don't seem many people discussing the good and bad things
about the current crop of distributed/shared filesystems.  Do
they sign a contract saying they can disclose any information about
their operation?

well, if you spend significant money on a commercial product,
and are using/depending on it, it's not attractive to embarass
the vendor in public.

IBM GPFS
Ibrix
Isilon
Terrascale
Netapp
(Did I forget some).

Lustre/SFS and Redhat GFS, certainly.
