With no significant experience administering NFS servers on anything
other than Linux, does it really make sense to consider OpenSolaris, or
a *BSD variant?  I.e. will the performance/reliability gains outweigh the
pain/overhead of a new OS?

And on the topic of file servers, does anyone have experience with the
Adaptec MaxIQ 5805ZQ controller cards which use SSDs for a large, fast
read cache?

Thanks,

Ian
