I'd consider vmware to be a special case, since it isolates all of the software on the guest machines. You can even be running windows there without any conflicts with the host. It could be a very nice combination for a small office since current servers normally have more than enough CPU power for a file server. It might be interesting to see if making guest drives connect via iscsi to the OF host is more efficient than the stock virtual disk format. -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Openfiler-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openfiler.com/mailman/listinfo/openfiler-users
