You may want to look into other fault-tolerant parallel distributed file 
systems.

Proprietary: Panasas file system. It seem to work fine at our university 
HPC center.

Open source: POHMELFS (into kernel 2.6.30) and Ceph (into kernel 2.6.34). 
I have only tried Ceph of those and it was a while ago, around the same 
time I played around with GlusterFS.

There are others - here is a list on Wikipedia;
