Hi all,

This is inspired by the thread about GlusterFS. I am new to distributed
filesystems, and am trying to figure out the differences between all of
them. It seems like there are many, and some provide a different means to
clustering, but I cannot quite figure out if there are major differences, or
if they all do the same thing of striping files across different storage
servers over a network. Perhaps someone could provide some insight and talk
about the major differences between some of these different options.

Here is a list of some apps I have found:
* Oracle OCFS2
* Lustre
* MogileFS
* GlusterFS
* Hadoop
* Cleversafe
* Parallel Virtual File System (seems to lack redundancy if I am not
mistaken)

Thanks so much,
Jordan
