The pithy ruminations from Klaus Steinberger on

I would appreciate it greatly if you could expand on this.

I'm setting up a cluster that will have several filesystems in the 3~6TB range.
This will be GFS1 over LVM2, with SAN (no iSCSI) connections to the servers, if
that has any bearing on the tuning suggestions.

Thanks,

Mark
