BeeGFS is great. I originally evaluated it when it was FhGFS and am still involved with a large production BeeGFS cluster deployment. Any knucklehead can install it and it works transparently with excellent performance. It's currently not enterprise-grade fault tolerant - that's the worst thing I can say about it.

> It's currently not enterprise-grade fault tolerant - that's the worst thing I can say about it. Its getting there quickly. BeeGFS v6 has metadata mirroring via buddy groups, and data mirroring the same way. A few things are still not there, but it is rapidly getting closer. Being open source helps as well. Definitely recommend it, and have deployed it and supported it many places in my previous life: http://scalableinformatics.com http://scalableinformatics.com .
