Hi,

impact on the performance ?

Had plenty of memory (2gb) and a reasonable amount of disk.  However, performance even with a gigabit ethernet was less than adequate.

Acting on a couple of replies received from this list, I modified the vfstab and changed the database, log, and stgpool file systems to "forcedirectio".

Throughput went up by a factor of five or more for almost all clients.  Clients with backups of a few large files, showed an increase of fifteen times throughput.

Thought this info might help someone.
