[clue-tech] MAC NFS?

[Mark G. Harvey]

Since NFS runs at the Application Layer & TCP is at the Transport Layer, how can TCP/IP be
skipped at all?

You also might consider an iSCSI target host to store the vmware files.  Then use an iSCSI
initiator on the machine running VMware Server & point to the target storage where the .vmdk
files are stored.
