Howto make distributed home (distributed file system?)

Asked by Xan

Hi,

I have more than one computer, and that computer have more than one HD.
I "just" want to have a distributed ubuntu system: that is,
1) having replicas of ubuntu in one partition of each HD
2) the replica is stored in distributed filesystem (every file is stored at least 2 times and if it's more important, it's stored more)

So entering in any of my machines I have the same information and I have assure the that I will not lost any information in hardware faliure.

Ideally I think in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MogileFS] with POSIX compilant or Hadoop with POSIX compilant.

Anyone knows any solution?

Thanks in advance,
Xan.

How about a network mounted HOME and that networked storage is RAID 1

Okay. But how can I do that?
Can you give me material for learning how to do that?

An NFS mounted solution is detailed here - http://www.brennan.id.au/19-Network_File_System.html. If you set up the main server to be RAID 1 you are good to go.
