and boy are there enough of them :) It'd be nice to get some technological
comparison of them rather than the more common "I use it and it hasn't eaten
my root disk (yet)" religious arguments I've seen.

(uh oh)

SANs revolve around more of block storage concepts, but there is still plenty
of mileage there (mostly linux bashing I'm afraid). I'd invite Alasdair to
say something about GFS at this point,

If you're talking about filesystems and SANs it's only a small step to
include LVM and you have most of the storage technologies covered

And mercilessly power cycle them (mwahahahahahahahaha! haha! ha! *cough*)
