Hi All,
I want to have a storage server and i have a chunk of computers with p4, 1gb ram lying around. What i plan to have is that when users see a directory called Data it should be a combination of hostA, HostB, HostC.... harddisk. Lets say we start filling up one guy. When one is filled up it should move on to second disk and so on without the users knowing it. I can use a LVM, or mount nfs but i want something which does exactly what i said above. Can anybody throw some light on existing free opensource software available for this?

Maybe you need clustering. http://lcic.org/distros.html

Read up on iSCSI. It will serve your purpose, if I understand correctly.
