Hi Hetz,
Is performance an issue ? Use NFSv3, and mount with a blocksize of
16k (unless your switches deal with larger blocksizes well - Network
Appliance have a fairly well documented case of switches not dealing well
with >16k udp blocksize for NFS).
About performance, 60GB disks with 7200rpm, using raid5, will result in
performance problems. If you are going to mount this using 100Mbit over a
few NFS clients, that use the file-server you create intensively for reads
and writes, you may find yourself bottlenecked...
