What exactly do you mean by a "parallel" file system? Something like GPFS? That's IBM proprietory though isn't it? On the other hand NFS seems pretty archaic. I've seen quite a few installations use Lustre. I am planning to play with that. Something in the OpenSource world to keep costs down. -- Rahul
