I can't really speak for the general public and overall best practices on that, but one common reason for using a SAN (for me) is having for instance a cluster of CF servers dealing with the same template/CFC/assets on the SAN. In those instances I would always install Jrun/CF on the local machine resp a local disk and refer to the SAN for the webroot/cfroot etc. Also what I found with SANs (particular in hosting environments) is that the performance you get _dramatically_ varies depending on the connection (LAN, Fibre etc) and on what the other users of the SAN are doing. Real scenario that happened to one of my clients a while ago: another SAN users was running DB backups at a fixed time of the day. At the same time the overall SAN performance decreased so much that all of the CF servers delivering files had issues and we got significant performance issues on the web front end. SAN/Virtualisiation etc. is fine - but one still shares resources and sometimes weird stuff happens.
