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? -matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
