Currently I have around 3 terrabytes of storage across a number of gentoo machines (4 at the moment) - at any one time 1/2 to 1 terrabyte is unused, but mostly in scattered chunks. Some space is exported via

maybe ZFS?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZFS

But not on Linux as a kernel module sadly

There's a FUSE implementation which is considerably slower (being FUSE)

IIRC the author of Linux-ZFS cites the NTFS implementation as demonstrating that FUSE can produce quite acceptable performance.

Of course, maybe performance of NTFS would be better were it a kernel module, but I get the strong impression Linux-ZFS is poor because it doesn't have the developer resources needed to improve it.

Stroller.
