Hey Keith, Curious as to what your opinion would be on using something like iscsi/SAN/ScaleIO etc to make a network-available disk, since (as far as I know) the local disk semantics are maintained, even if the spinning rust is remote... Is that what you're actually getting at above ? I'm not sure what SQLite's performance would be like in that sort of circumstance, the page model would probably help a lot, but there'd be latency in fetching those pages before they're part of the cache. In a mainly-read environment (email database, perhaps) it'd probably work pretty well, assuming those "local disk" semantics are in fact maintained.
