OPenFiler?

[Stephen]

I have used OpenFiler for a few years now. It has been awesome. I have
even had it running as a virtual NAS appliance inside my VM server
(serving the network and other VM's) and it has performed incredibly
well. Have used to to feed excahnge and a 70+ user network for media
file server and iSCSI to a Xenserver and it performed like a champ.

I cannot compare it to NetApp but in and of itself has performed
incredibly well.

I know one of the things it does is convert ALL ram it does not need
for itself is converted to Disk Cache and doing a linux MD raid in
raid 6 i did not feel any of the normal Raid5/6 latancy with random
R/W as it had allot of IO for parity calculation. (it was likely there
but not as apparent as the CPU was a quad core harpertown and it had
8GB of ram to cache with)
