For a different approach, you might look at NBD (ref: http://nbd.sourceforge.net/). That's really more of a pretend SAN, in that it's serving up virtual block devices over your network that the local machines can use as they sees fit (ext3, NTFS, raw database partition, ...), rather than offering network services (i.e. SMB, FTP, etc.). I haven't tried it, but I see that OpenSUSE has included it in at least some of their recent distros, and they don't usually include stuff in the base distro unless it's pretty solid. Have fun. -Brian _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
