There has to This is happening though. Somone has stated on a list that someone is building a fault-tolerant cluster. He has already contstructed a distributed lock manager so that members of the clusters can use shared resources. Apparently, he is now using this for a shared drive array. Probably just accessing it as a raw device now. Pretty cool stuff. There is also the Coda project. Kinda cool stuff too. Since clients can operate disconnected from the Coda file server, it has some fault-tolerant aspects too.
