[Tfug] 64 bit file server?

[Joshua Bernstein]

Paul,

	Be careful when using a 64-bit proc and OS with NFS. When writting 
relatively small files simulatanously, I've seen the load (mostly I/O) 
on AMD Opteron Server spike to over 10. It basically renders the system 
unusable.... This is a symptomn I've seen with all major distributions 
and kernel version 2.4...
