How about GlusterFS? I am planning to build a DIY NAS and use GlusterFS as my filesystem. I’m planning to run my node on the NAS and point my Storj’s docker container to the mounted GlusterFS folder using GlusterFS client.  
Many thanks in advance.

i think glusterfs might have an inode issue limitation, when you get into the millions and millions glusterfs becomes a bit slow… i’m not fully aware of how much of a real problem this is of if it just means that it takes a while to open a folder with millions of files in it…

anyways, there is something about glusterfs and millions of files creating latency or issues, might be worth looking into first.

> Hello there i post this topic about gluster fs hosts for storj storage node. In my case i have 2 hosts, I do recommend to add another host so 3 hosts I have the Docker container running on cent os 7, So this solution for redundancy (experimental) is to replicate data in real time across hosts with network gluster fs. If a host is lost data is already current (i hope) in the other hosts and i have to relaunch Docker container manually on other hosts. I hope this solution will work wait and …
