I have been given a task at work that I thought would be any easy enough job, but have had some difficulties getting the information I need. Bottom line, I need to:

I came from the windows world where I was able to use pretty GUI's. I'm not in Kansas anymore! No offense to those from the region or those that live on the yellow brick road.

I have a question on a similar line.. What I am looking for is not
exactly a traditional NAS/CFS. Basically I am looking for a CFS that
doesn't use shared storage, with each not having it's own storage.
(There may be a pair of HA metadata servers, but all the clients of
the filesystem can also be storage nodes, and the cluster guarantees
that at least two nodes will have a copy of the data.)

It sounds in some ways that Lustre might be close to what I am looking for.
