The AFS support group (of whom I'm a former member) is considering moving
to virtual hosts under vmware for their next generation of servers. So far
they're looking at attempting to have the vhosts attach the vice partitions
directly from our SAN rather than having storage mediated through vmware.
If you're using or used virtualized servers, we'd love to hear how their
working out for you.

At the moment, the servers are running OpenAFS 1.6.17. I don't know if
they're considering upgrading to 1.8.X as part of this or not.

Advance thanks,
