- Overcommitting memory is fine, so long as you don't end up swapping to a SATA disk :-)
- OpenFiler as an iSCSI device running 3 SATA drives that are short-stroked will give you amazing performance: we're doing > 4000 IOPS, which is all we needed, I don't quite know what this box is capable of
- LAN LAN LAN => iPerf is very useful when it comes to figuring out that your LAN stinks! 200MB/*minute* on a 1GB LAN???? Come on!!!
