Very few responses regarding NAS as Oracle Store - except for a document
from a NAS vendor (http://www.netapp.com/products/filer/database.html) . For
benchmarks, I was referred to the SpecSFS Benchmark
(http://www.spec.org/osg/sfs97/) Thanks to Bill Hathaway for these links.

There was also recent post and summary regarding networked attached storage
(from NetApps) by David Foster.

Thanks!

Nelson
