Once upon a time I would have suggested something like CODA (which I 
implemented in a redundant mission critical file system on FreeBSD like 
5 years ago. I'm not  even sure of the status of CODA on FreeBSD 6 and 
7, so I couldn't recommend it now.

AFS hasn't worked in a dog's age either, so there is "slim pickin's" 
when it comes to tried and true.

If you do use any of those solutions, I would love to hear how they work 
out. Especially if you use pNFS, as its been something I've been looking 
at for a while to replace our single-point-of-failure NFS here.
