Have you looked at GlusterFS? It stores files on a regular filesystem, and then makes them network accessible, optionally clustering, striping and mirroring them.

I haven't looked at it, though I've heard of it. I'll give it a look: at first sight it looks really rather nice.

No good. glusterfs cannot support inotify, because it is based on FUSE, and FUSE doesn't support inotify. Currently, it seems, only in-kernel distributed filesystems can support inotify -- and, as far as I can see, none of them do.
