Torus development has been stopped at CoreOS

Why isn't a fourth option being explored: local storage with async replication? Seems like it'd be fairly simple and fast, and no worse than non-clustered NFS regarding data integrity.

I'm just talking from ignorance, so am I missing something?

Oh yes, sorry I assumed that.

The simplest storage, is a bunch of dumb servers (well beefy dumb servers) with some application aware scripts to move/copy the dataset.

A place I worked at had a wrapper around rsync that would split up the directory and spawn multiple rsyncs to do a parallel copy.

The Directory structure was effectively copy on write, so backup to the nearline was <15 minutes

I wonder if you could have something better, closer to streaming replication of databases. A few weeks ago I found zrep, which sounds more like what I had in mind: http://www.bolthole.com/solaris/zrep/
