Ask HN: open-source version of Drobo's BeyondRaid?
I'm really interested in setting up a fault-tolerant backup system at the house and I'm about this close -><- to buying a Drobo, but the price is kinda high. Drobo's tech is interesting because its not a traditional RAID solution and is expandable up to 16 terabytes. Does anyone know if there is an open-source version of their "BeyondRaid" tech that could be used to build the same kind of system, but DIY instead of buy?
