Hi,

   as I struggle to find the correct hardware to install a file server, I
was wondering whether any has consider implement the file server using the
SAN (storage area network) technology.  It seems to be a good fit and the
component is more readily available than the current file server hardware
requirements.  Another one is allow foreign box/file system to be used such
as NTFS (!heavan forbid, but it is a unicode file system) or extended Linus
ext2 (ext2 with utf support).  I know u9fs exist but it didn't seems to
support all the functionality needed by a plan9 file system.   I'm
interested in any ideas on the feasibility on the subject.

thanks
peter huang
