[nflug] NAS storage

[Robert Meyer]

Is there a reason that it needs to be a NAS, rather than a SAN?  You can turn a
box with a SAN into a NAS with the right combination of NFS, SAMBA and
AppleTalk.  That would allow you to use normal methods for handling user
mappings, etc.

Just my two cents...

Cheers!

Bob
