I understand that many of those projects fail because of a lack of bug reporting, but I believe that is partly due to the userbase of the current cluster filesystems (being nearly all linux users, most of them in a lab environment, etc), and also the lack of solid docs. Lustre is a very interesting package, but it doesn't work on FreeBSD. I could use GFS, or luster, or another one with Linux, but I want to use FreeBSD. Now, to be clear, I'm talking about a clustered filesystem, not a distributed filesystem.
