You should look at Panasas, It is an appliance approach to a high 
performance filesystem which is similar to luster.  I think Garth, 
(founder of panasas and co-author of the RAID papers) was involved with 
lustre.

If its not too much work, I'd like to bug you for these Joe. Additionally, 
does anyone have any experience with Luster or any other parallel 
filesystems? Is it possible to run GPFS on non-IBM systems -- are they 
selling it?
