What is the world of SAN on FreeBSD like ?  Does it
exist at all ?

More specifically, are there _any_ iSCSI drivers in
existence for FreeBSD ?

If so, how exactly does it work in terms of
reallocating storage ?  If I have a large iSCSI disk
array, and I have a fbsd server that suddenly needs
more space, how do I expand the partitions already in
use ?  Wouldn't I need to unmount the existing
partition and resize it on the array and then remount
it ?  Or do people just keep adding more and more
discreet partitions from the array as time goes on,
ending up with a fbsd server with serveral mounted
filesystems that were needed over time ?

thanks.
