     I think you need to go back to the people who imposed the
requirement, and get them to supply a precise definition of
"network share."  Does a NAS count?  It's certainly on a network
but not necessarily shared.  What about iSCSI?  What about
InfiniBand, for that matter?  What about today's favorite
buzzphrase, "the Cloud?"
