First thing I would suggest is trying to setup a NFS + LDAP kind of setup. This will be not be a distributed setup but rather a file system on central server shared by computers on network. It might be a bit hard to setup but works wonderfully when done.
Second thing is glusterfs. I have never used it but just read about it. It is a distributed file system that can encapsulate NFS, SMB and other file systems. Onkar -- ubuntu-in mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
