X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 10 Oct 2007 19:20:59 -0000 At my place of work, we're looking at implementing a SAN, most likely with iSCSI, some time next year, and likely about 5-10TBytes. I was wondering if FreeBSD could provide this on COTS hardware, but my googling hasn't been successful. >From my reading of this list over the past couple of years, it seems that both parts of the solution - iSCSI support and large disk support - are still problematic, but I'd like to hear more informed opinion, as the potential cost savings is quite large. Anyone have recent-ish experience putting something like this together? Kurt
