I just purchased 4 of these and am finding out about the subfolder limitation, much to my surprise. Your post gives me some hope, however. If I use NFS with VMWare ESX, will it see this device the same way as if it were ISCSI? I am building a VM-Ware ESX server with two vms, and have been informed that with NFS enabled Hardware the host will see the Drives as native. Do you know if this is true?
