>On the other hand, if you are using Ethernet for storage, you almost certainly want jumbo frames on any such interfaces.

Can't say I agree with a simple broad statement like that.
Rather than restate what smarter people than me have already done, here
is a quote from a dev in the IET list I have come to trust:

Test with and without, simply enabling jumbo's isn't certainly going to
help, it may or may not.
