    SubjectRe: NFS question

    Isn't any raid implementation transparent to the filesystem or
    operation system? Certain raid levels can increase or decrease
    performance, but the quantity of i/o operations at the nfs level
    should be the same. At least of successful writes in the filesystem.
    How are you getting those statistics in the Sun machine?
