"The goal of the Parallel Virtual File System (PVFS) Project is to explore the design, implementation, and uses of parallel I/O. PVFS serves as both a platform for parallel I/O research as well as a production file system for the cluster computing community. PVFS is currently targeted at clusters of workstations, or Beowulfs."
"In order to provide high-performance access to data stored on the file system by many clients, PVFS spreads data out across multiple cluster nodes, which we call I/O nodes. By spreading data across multiple I/O nodes, applications have multiple paths to data through the network and multiple disks on which data is stored. This eliminates single bottlenecks in the I/O path and thus increases the total potential bandwidth for multiple clients, or aggregate bandwidth."
Or there are many others to chose from, google for clustered filesystems:
