Is there such a thing as a linux network filesystem that aggregates storage across a few machines? I am not talking about dedicated chunk servers and the like, but something that can make available a the unused space on a number of machines (desktops, servers, ...) by aggregating and making available the space to the network. Is afs (or coda?) what I am after?
I have used ceph, but its minimum requirements are way to heavy for a small network,moosefs looks to be similar and as dedicated storage, that's not what I am after. BillK
