Hi Matei. Thanks for responding.

Besides possible performance issues, my biggest issue with NFS is that
it would be a single point of failure. One server would be running NFS
and the others would mount NFS from it, correct? So if the NFS server
went down for any reason, so do all the VMs. 

It would be easy to try as far as testing XCP though. :-)

Thanks,
James
