I am currently testing a P3 smp (Dell 4500) system with using the tg3 driver
over XFS. Disks are Fibre Channel pushing 100 MB/s for reads and writes.
It is holding up very well. It holds up under extreme load (64 nodes writing
multiple GB files over NFS), It was running 10 nodes writing files continuously
for 12 weeks. Heavy load tests on the disk directly showed stable performance,
but I wasn't running the load on the disks directly for more than an hour
at a time.
I am going to upgrade our 6 other NFS servers to this setup. All filesystems
are going to be converted from ext3 to xfs.
Redhat 8.0
Stock 2.4.20 kernel, added Trond's NFS patches
Qla2200 v6.01.00 driver
