I am looking at a few different offerings and of course = none claim FreeBSD support. It seems like it shouldn't matter, a virtual = disk created in the SAN for a particular machine should just look like = another disk to FreeBSD, but if there are any gotchas or products that = definitely work better with FreeBSD than others, I would like to know. While the SAN purchase is not intended directly for our FreeBSD servers, = it would be nice to at least have the capability to add them on at a = later date. -Will
