Currently I have around 3 terrabytes of storage across a number of
gentoo machines (4 at the moment) - at any one time 1/2 to 1 terrabyte
is unused, but mostly in scattered chunks.  Some space is exported via
NFS and samba for backups and shared files.

What I would really like is a file system that would unify these spaces
and present them to the network as storage space - ideally with
redundant data storage so one or more machines can dissappear and the
data is still available.

AFS is not quite what I want (or maybe it is, but it doesn't seem to
handle transient storage duplication)

I have a memory of seeing a beast that does this in the past but cant
remember what it is - any suggestions?
