The F2 filesystem was built on the primary disk controller of the second node. <> Each filesystem was composed of three RAID-4 groups; each RAID-group was composed of 8 data disks and 1 parity disk. Two spare disks were present. <> Server tunings: <> options minra 1 -- minimize file read-ahead <> date 0801 -- set clock to 8:01am for reproducibility <> NetApp is a registered trademark and "Data ONTAP", "Network Appliance", and WAFL are trademarks of Network Appliance, Inc. in the United States and other countries. <> All other trademarks belong to their respective owners and should be treated as such.
