GlusterFS is a FUSE based distributed filesystem. You can mirror the files on as many servers as you like, aggregate storage from different servers. It has no central metadata server either.
It doesn't serve via HTTP directly, but it's easy to point a web server at the filesystem (it has an Apache module to provide direct access without going through FUSE if you want higher performance).

- bjclark 17y agoI highly recommend against glusterfs. We used to use it at my current employer and had nothing but trouble serving large files from it. It was fine until we starting putting large files in it, then healing would randomly bring the whole server to it's knees.
