Other Notes

NetApp's embedded operating system processes NFS requests from the network layer without any NFS daemons, and uses non-volatile memory to improve performance.
The F1 filesystem was composed of two RAID-4 groups; each RAID-group was composed of 7 data disks and 1 parity disk. Two spare disks were present.
Server tunings:
date 0801 -- set clock to 8:01am for reproducibility
options minra 1 -- to minimize file read-ahead
