Hi Mike
GX maybe the AFS flavor from NetApp. http://blogs.netapp.com/dave/TechTalk/?permalink=ONTAP-GX-151-Past-and-Futur...
On the other hand, if you're looking for something _free_, try http://www.openafs.org/.
AFS is killer replacement for NFS if you have lots of many small files that get constantly updated. Of course, not to mention, doing away with stale file handles as well.

Just throwing a question out there curious to hear people's thoughts or experiences. Every time I end up dealing with hundreds of stale file handles because of a server move/change I become increasingly annoyed by the stateless nature of NFS and think to myself "Maybe this time I'll finally start seriously looking at AFS."
Other than lots of other ways an AFS deployment could be complicated, I wonder how if at all a Netapp can be part of an AFS deployment?
Also feel free to tell me how using AFS is crazy in general and I should just accept my stale file handles.
