How about using iSCSI? I'd think that would be more robust than NFS.<br><br><a href="http://www.sysprobs.com/connect-freenas-iscsi-disks-vmware-vsphere-4-esxi4">http://www.sysprobs.com/connect-freenas-iscsi-disks-vmware-vsphere-4-esxi4</a><br>
<br>I've started using FreeNAS some, it's pretty nice to work with, takes a bit more time to set up than one of the NAS appliances, but has a lot more flexibility, and for the same cost or less, you can get much better performance out of x86 hardware, where most of the low-end NAS appliances use an imbedded processor.<br>

Is anyone using Linux or other *nix based NFS server (freeNAS?) for VMware ESX in production? Are there any compatibility issues? I would guess it would be a non-supported configuration as far as VMware goes.<br>
