Since there is not a really good cluster filesystem for Linux that is 
not either "half baked" (IMHO - I'm probably going to get smacked over 
that statement!) or cost an arm and a leg, this is exactly the route we 
have taken.

We've had great success with just using SMP Linux servers. We do have 
one EMC IP4700 in production, and it's a nice system, but I prefer the 
Linux based alternative.

Although I haven't had problems with this in our lab, I believe the NFS 
authors still consider this experimental.
