[Cialug] Linux/*nix NFS + VMware

[David Champion]

How about using iSCSI? I'd think that would be more robust than NFS.

I've started using FreeNAS some, it's pretty nice to work with, takes a bit
more time to set up than one of the NAS appliances, but has a lot more
flexibility, and for the same cost or less, you can get much better
performance out of x86 hardware, where most of the low-end NAS appliances
use an imbedded processor.
