AoE != NAS, but more a form of SAN.

NAS is a Network offered filesystem service (like NFS, SAMBA/CIFS, etc)
SAN is a Network media offered block-level service (like iSCSI, AoE, FC, etc)

OpenFiler does BOTH.. plus LVM, RAID etc...

If anyone has a good implementation of OpenFiler.. I would love to see it 
demonstrated at XCSSA.
