NFS Performance issue against NetApp

[Lawrence K. Chen, P.Eng.]

Yeah, I didn't have any problems with FreeBSD 9.0 on G7, the boss didn't like the lack of passthru and having to configure a bunch of raid 0 luns for each disk with the SmartArray P410i...so he was going through everything putting in the LSI SAS 2008s, and decided while he was at it to switch to all Intel EXPI9402PT cards....it might be because of the G7's that are doing SmartOS.  He swapped out all the memory....  

Joked that he was replacing everything except for the case....
