By the way, on the subject of SANs,
I came across this article in SysAdmin mag  (I'm sad enough to buy it on 
the way into work)

   http://www.sysadminmag.com/articles/2001/0109/0109a/0109a.htm

The Winchester Flashdisk is not a SAN, but  might be a low-cost alternative.
It is a mutli-port RAID box, so that four servers can all have their 
disks in the Flashdisk array,
and the storage partitioned up between them.
The article makes it sound very sweet.
Has anyone tried using one of these in anger?
