As configured for this <> benchmark, two RAID groups of 13 disks were created and assigned to the <> same single large file system. <> <> The NetApp F630 uses a real-time embedded kernel that processes NFS <> requests right from the network layer without any NFS daemons. It uses <> NVRAM (non-volatile memory) to improve performance. <> <> To run the SFS benchmark, configure the F630 by adding this line to /etc/rc: <> options minra 1 nosnap 1 nosnapdir 1 <> These option settings are for reproducibility (no performance impact), <> except for minra, which minimizes file read-ahead. <> <> Editor: Correction made in disk type. Measurement done with Seagate Barracuda instead of Cheetah
