I want to regularly backup by 24TB data array onto a 30TB distributed file system.
I want to create a 3 x 10TB distributed file system from 3 servers, which I want to mount onto my primary server which has the main data array.
Any tips would be great.

Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

Yes, use a single server with SAS expanders and so. A distrivuited network filesystem is a mess.
If you can share the files manually among the servers, do it.
My anger against what is wrong in the Bitcoin community is productive:
Bitcointa.lk - Replace "Bitcointalk.org" with "Bitcointa.lk" in this url to see how this page looks like on a proper forum (Announcement Thread)

There are a few distributed FS into the Linux Kernel IIRC, but I haven't played with them.  If you want a centralized solution you could setup a RAID5 on the server using mdadm, and share the files with NFS or NBD (network block device).

I wonder if you could create a RAID5 with NBDs, that would be distributed.  Anyway check the all the FS in the kernel, they are there for a reason. Wink
