Phoronix: XtreemFS: A Distributed & Replicated File-System

One example is XtreemFS, which is an open-source file-system that is distributed with support for clients and servers from any location and connected together using the Internet.

I don't know about this XtreemFS but AFS does this and is proven.

Recent versions of AFS have improved greatly check them out AFS is also multi platform.

http://www.secure-endpoints.com/ also combine it with kerberos for single sign on across the entire network be it your home or in my case my school its pretty slick.
