NFS? I see no mention of it on netapps site.

Subject: Re: Question on netapp disk arrays?
Two choices
- mount your oracle database storage spaces via NFS. We're doing this
using Linux oracle servers via GigE. Its even a configuration
supported
by oracle.
- Look at the "fas" product line (fas940 & fas960). In NetApp's theme of
multi-protocol filers, the new "fas" line will add support for using
a filer to serve up raw disk chunks over fiber channel, SAN-style.
the 940 and 960 can be ordered now; not sure when the SAN attachment
features
will be available.
