Tony I clearly understand what is SAN and what is NAS. I have both here from EMC. And our NAS based on Cellera never had NFS outages because of hardware failures. Also I use two Cisco switches with dual paths on SUN box (using IP Multipathing) to protect against network failures. So believe me - NAS in some cases is highly available storage. And, openly, I see no difference from HA point of view between NAS and SAN - it only depends what you use and how you design infrastructure.
But sorry - this is not advertisement. I simply would like to have ability and run Samba from NFS, but it looks like this is not option and at least something should be stored on local disks. Well, I think I can live with this.

NAS is *not*,necessarily, permanently available. SAN is. If you want your files to be permanently available, whether through an Act of God, or whatever, you might consider SAN with accompanying backup routines, collocations, etc. I hope that your pocket book is suitably fat. Because this is going to *squeez* it. --Tonni -- Nothing sucksseeds like a pigeon without a beak ... mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.billy.demon.nl They love us, don't they, They feed us, won't they ... -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
