With no significant experience administering NFS servers on
anything<br>
other than Linux, does it really make sense to consider
OpenSolaris, or<br>
a *BSD variant? I.e. will the performance/reliability gains
outweigh the<br>
pain/overhead of a new OS?<br>
<br>
And on the topic of file servers, does anyone have experience with
the<br>
Adaptec MaxIQ 5805ZQ controller cards which use SSDs for a large,
fast<br>
read cache?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
