[one-users] VMware VMFS vs NFS

Hi,

Indeed, the process is exactly the same, what changes is the method
you use to mount the datastore in the ESX host, but for OpenNebula is
completely transparent (both of them will be handled with the 'vmfs'
drivers).

Any reason in particular for using NFS instead of VMFS? due to the
available hardware or is the reason something else?

Regards,

-Tino
