Logical Virtual Disk

Is anyone interested in working with me to create a logical virtual disk
to make all or part of the disks in local area network look like one
disk drive (one huge disk drive).

I have already started some work on this project and have done some
feasability.

I may work with the University of Mn or the University of St Thomas but
nothing is definite.

I don't want to disclose all the details  but here are some

The Disk Drive would keep reduntant information on different physical
disk drives so if a node in the network went down the File System on
the logical disk drive would automatically reform itself over the
rest of the existing disk drives.

The logical disk would work across different versions of UNIX using
NFS and TCP/IP to ensure compatibility.

The only technical feat to be done besides a massive amount of work
to make this thing commercially viable is to build a prototype to
get some idea of access speeds.

Please excuse my spelling and grammer I'm not checking it sorry!

If interested academically or commercially please contact
