I know the INN documentation by heart. :-) Using local disks is not possible, because the machine does not have any local disks (except for a very small one for booting the OS). The NetApp Filer is already there and has a few hundreds of Gbytes of space free, so that it'll be. Both have gigabit ethernet, so that shouldn't be a problem. I'm very curious how it will perform.
