I am trying to understand how NetApp can be so much better at NFS servicing than my quad Opteron 250 SAN attached machine. So I need some help and some pointers to understand how I can make my opteron machine come on par (or within 70% NFS performance range) as that of my NetApp R200. I have run through the NFS-how-to's and have heard "that is why they cost so much more", but I really have to consider that probably most of the ideas that are in the NetApp are common knowldge (just not in my head). Can anyone shed some light on this? TIA! Phy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
