I don't know about Linux solutions for this, but I did see what
appeared to be an interesting solution for this at a WMware
meeting recently. Falconstor Software virtualizes SAN storage in
much the same way VMware virtualizes servers. My guess is it
isn't cheap, but reinventing wheels can be expensive too.
