Hmm? Possibly- although I don't quite get how you're seeing that.

Still, somebody asked recently, wrt to a fibre channel loop with two (if not
more) FreeBSD machines connected to it with a JBOD and 10 36GB Fibre Channel
drives, "What filesystem do I use to share between the FreeBSD machines"?

So, modulo a network based filesystem over Gig Ethernet (which may or may not
be as fast as a SAN on Fibre Channel), what do you recommend?
