Distributed file system

[axu]

Is there a distributed file system that I can use on multiple nodes and
access it as shared FS from each one of these nodes ?
Some kind of networked LVM. When I want to add some space on my
filesystem I can add a new node on the cluster or just add a new hard
drive on one of the existing nodes ..
Thx for advice

i think a grid file system is what you are looking for.

You might want to take a look at the Parallel Virtual File System (PVFS):

I don't think you can easily add nodes though.
