Hello,

what are current "technologies and implementations" to get a filesystem with unlimited capacity by using single servers with their harddisk to form a "grid/cloud filesystem"?

I need to have unlimited space (by adding further servers) but it must be a filesysem that is capable of running a database on top.

I know of Apache Hadoop but that seems not be be Ideal for running a DB on top of it (or am I wrong??)

And iSCSI seems to be "remote/networked" but I do not know how and if this is clusterable?

thank you very much!! jens
