Hello,

Does/has anyone here had experience using a FreeBSD machine in a SAN environment? I am looking at a few different offerings and of course none claim FreeBSD support. It seems like it shouldn't matter, a virtual disk created in the SAN for a particular machine should just look like another disk to FreeBSD, but if there are any gotchas or products that definitely work better with FreeBSD than others, I would like to know.

While the SAN purchase is not intended directly for our FreeBSD servers, it would be nice to at least have the capability to add them on at a later date.

-Will
