The openfiler uses XFS for local storage and exports NFS and CIFS (and iSCSI if you want that). http://www.openfiler.com/ It is based on rpath linux and uses a different package management system than you may be used to. But it's relatively easy to configure and maintain. -- Keith Dart -- -- -------------------- Keith Dart =======================
