Is anyone using RAID (disks) on an SGI (or any other machine,
actually)?

If so, I would be interested in posing a few questions such
as what application you are using, the performance gains you
are experiencing and the extent of your software modifications
to achieve this performance gain.

If you are accessing data on RAID via a network file service
(presumably NFS), what is your network media and how much of
a performance hit did you take going via NFS?

If any SGI folks and get me any info, I would be very interested.
We are seriously considering using RAID on an SGI 440.  My sales
person is in training for the next few days; still...

Thanks.  Please respond by email.
