Most file servers run proprietary software #1

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

Most file servers seem to run
either on a proprietary operating
system, on proprietary hardware, or
use proprietary software.

Linux should be capable of serving most
file server needs out of the box.

So what's keeping people from using Linux for file servers?
For one thing, Linux's native LVM snapshots
suffer from performance and stability problems.
For another, Linux provides no really good way to replicate
disk volumes (rsync is good, but not good enough for some users).

Let's fix at least those issues.
