nfs general question

[guyrubi]

hi everyone, 

i have a question for a long time i hope you can help with her, can some one please explain to me in detail 

why we cant configure a NFS protocol on a native Fibrechannel infrastracture ?

fibre channel work on a block level which is a lower level then a file ( file composed of block at the end day ) and NFS  is a layer 7 protocol.

i don get it right at all please let me know , thank to all those who helps:-)

Because everyone is using fibre channel for mass storage only (SCSI protocol) and nobody is using it as IP network (despite it is specified by standard).

i didnt fully understand your anser so can i use NFS protocol on native FC infrastracure ?(brocade , HBA ....)

IP over fibre channel is specified in the standards, but I'm not aware of an implementation (unlike FC over IP/ethernet, which is available).
