Any reason to keep controller 3 around?
Nope.

The FTPs have been a little flaky and processes did not always check

R/O sharing with only one writer shouldn't be a problem. R/W sharing will

Sorry, not answering your question ... but appending my own to it ...
We do lots of ftps as well and using NFS/SAMBA sounds like an
interesting alternative. However, we just went through an audit and one
of the requirements that came out of that is that all transfers have to
be encrypted. So
from an architecture perspective is ftp doing the same thing as nfs/samba? FTP
is more of a come and get it - samba/nfs are here when you want it. Just a
thought.

We are testing Java app. on Linux (z/VM) and we're getting a very poor response
time. End users get connected to Linux server through

memory/swapping, I/O) or network problem.

Even if you're actually using 8192 for your MTU size, you're taking a

How many of the patches against Linux required rebooting, versus

how about SAN storage and Tape.
