I was intrigued when I ran across your comments on NFS for ESX, but now, with storage vmotion in 3.5 and live VM migrations to new LUNs, curious if you think this reduces attractiveness of NFS vs. VMFS and LUNs.  Seems like its still easier to resize NAS volumes if space is the issue (at least with netapps), but storage vmotion appears to bring the advantage of live migrations, if migration to new raid is the goal (though we really don't migrate very often).  Guess question is whether you think live LUN sizing and migration is a big enough deal to trump other NFS benefits you've seen, especially since would seem easy/quick enough to move lots of VMs to new volumes using NFS (haven't done it tho).  Thoughts?
