Very recently I was researching resilient scalable (but not high-performance) storage solutions.
GFS2 was out in the first round as it does, as others said, require SAN. Other "contestants" I have set up in a lab were: Hadoop MapR GlusterFS iSCSI AWS Storage As the result of testing we have decided to go with Gluster as the solution of choice. It was the best for our set of requirements - in your case it may be something diferent.
