Shared file storage for a Rails Application

I have a rails app that accepts file uploads and I wanted to know the best way to have common storage between servers. Since we have a number of windows applications we have used samba in the past, but as we build pure linux apps I would like to do this the best possible way.

We are expecting large amounts of data, so would need to scale this across multiple file servers.

Another good alternative is from the creators of Memcached:

If you want to have all the data in-house than a networked file-system might be the way to go. Try setting up AFS it scales pretty good.

I've used paperclip with an S3 backend.

One easy way to do it is to use attachment_fu with an S3 backend.
