Both mirror components mounted fine elsewhere. It seemed juice's age made it incapable of groking 120GB disks, despite the BIOS being reasonably happy with them. It wasn’t.

Cheers for the other pointers, I'll check them out. ZFS not a cluster fs, ack - just something it’d like to check out for myself i guess. Cheers for the other pointers, I’ll check them out.

Sun has one, but I imagine being locked into Solaris would be even worse than being locked into Linux. If being Linux-only is not a problem, you'd probably also want to consider <a href="http://www.redhat.com/en_us/USA/home/solutions/gfs/" rel="nofollow">GFS</a> - originally by UMN and Sistina, since bought out by Red Hat. If you're considering Coda, why not consider <a href="http://openafs.org/" rel="nofollow">OpenAFS</a> instead? The main difference between AFS and Coda was disconnected operation, which would seem to be of little interest based on what you've described. OpenAFS is the lineal descendant of AFS, is supported on many platforms, etc. Yes, ZFS has features galore, but it’s not a cluster filesystem.
