opensource wide area san?

[Stephen]

Well this only has to last for about 4 months then most of our remote
sites collapse into our new facility

2 of the buildings aren't really ours so the 10mb Ethernet is/was not
an option. (it is in the new building)

Ill have to revisit openAFS as i havent looked at it in some time (was
kinda neat but impractical for me at the time)

I am thinking i might try dfs-r and kludge along until we are in the
new facility then revisit this for the one site that will remain
offsite.

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
