<> NetApp's embedded operating system processes NFS requests from the network layer without any NFS daemons, and uses NVRAM (non-volatile memory) to improve performance.
<> 
<> The F1 filesystem was composed of one RAID group of 13 data disks and one parity disk.
<> 
<> Option settings on the F720:
<> options nosnap 1
<> #    to disable periodic snapshot creation, for reproducibility
<> options nosnapdir 1
<> #    to avoid inserting .snapshot entry when reading directories
<> options raid.scrub.enable off
<> 
<> #    to disable periodic RAID scrubs, for reproducibility
<> options minra 1
<> #    to minimize file read-ahead
<> 
<> Openboot settings on the F720:
<> setenv java? false
<> #    to disable the Java Virtual Machine
