Salam Abd al Fattah, I am not a network guru, but as far as i know Linux can read NTFS file system using the module supplied with kernel. to write on NTFS you need a package called Captive. Note that using captive to write on NTFS filesystem is SLOW. Another way to let Linux talk (read/write) to wizo machines, is by using Samba or even ftp. I am not sure about the performance implications on the SAN of using the mentioned ways. As you know SAN is mainly derived for high performance scenarios.
