public or VG2?

You mean - only used as Tahoe-LAFS node?what if host has high uptime and node's role is not only it's main role?(may be it's also client, webhost,etc)?

Shouldn't be 'space allocated to node'?for example I have reseverved_space=1400G on one of nodes, this machine is not dedicated in this role

* how you use your grid?tahoe backup/FUSE/pyfilesystem
* which host OSes you use on grid, with versions: like CentOS 5.7/WindowsServer2008R/Win7(or may be several checkboxes in style Do you use OS X)
* approximate balanced storage space:xx Gb
* number of clients(if client is also storage node - count it here too)

At least I would be interested to read it. 
For clients - just different questioons:grid, N/H/k and so




for example in my case(may be add something from here if you think that's interesting)

Number of storage nodes:11 currently
Planned future storage nodes:2-4(LAE one when it stabilizes a little more and at my friends locations at other cities)
Max number of nodes per one location(i.e. same physical LAN and/or physically near):4
Number of nodes used as gateway:1(more planned real soon)
Access method to grid used: tahoe backup, SSHFS+OSXFUSE, Dokan+Pyfilesystem
Host OSes used: Windows Server 2008R2,Windows 7(does not have it's own node,only uses pyfilesystem for now),Linux(CentOS 5.5-5.7), Mac OS X 10.7.2 
Approximate balanced raw storage space(not accounting for N/k):450 Gb(unbalanced space can be made about 1.5 Tb but only 2 nodes have >1 Tb space so I blocked this)
Are they public gateways: No, but I'm looking at lafs-rpg project for making R/O access possible so I just could share files with others this way
