Especially Davide's comment above. Very good analogy Open Solaris may be your best choice. I would suggest you do pay attention to Solaris itself. It's free (as in beer) from Sun & it works. Here at the JHU libraries we manage about 1/2 PB of online data varying from images, audio, scanned documents, etc. in a ZFS instance on some massive storage. We evaluated all the iterations of ZFS on various OS's. ZFS/fuse was eliminated fairly quickly along with BSD. For the critical stuff we use Solaris on Sun H/W. For general storage it's Solaris_x86 on generic x86 H/W.
