Following on from the thread "questions on serving big file & SQL
statement parsing", I have a related question:

Where do you store your uploads?

I can think of two approaches:

1) In the DB, store the name of the server to which your file has been 
   uploaded

2) Store your upload in a shared partition (eg on a SAN, NFS, 
   iSCSI/OCFS2)

The advantage I see in the second approach is redundancy, the
disadvantage is that there will be a slight performance cost.

Anybody have recommendations/war-stories about these or other
approaches?

thanks

Clint
