Are you running the SAN on fibre or ethernet? If you are not on fibre, you do stand to have problems with performance. If you are running fibre, it should be as fast a local storage, for all intended purposes.
I agree with Nathan that the virtual may not allow script access, but I don't think the SAN is an issue. Also, if you have CF set to cache enough files, in memory, the network access should not be an issue at all. We are getting ready to put our SQL Server box on a SAN. One day, I hope to put our web server(s) on the SAN as well.

If that's the case, just check the box and hit apply. Something related, I've tried this before, even with a real heavy-duty san, and we had trouble with network bandwidth. Granted, there was more traffic than most will experience, and we didn't get a chance to experiment for long, so your mileage may vary. PS, by definition, if your SAN is serving CIFS (windows file shares), doesn't that make it a NAS? -nathan strutz http://www.dopefly.com/ On 11/28/05, Mehdi, Agha <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Hi all, > > We run a cluster of 4 boxes with CF on them.
