Hello,

  We are just installing a new fileserver as so: DEC 2000 4/275
with raid controller, two towers with 4 x rz29 disk each. Disks
will be shared via NFS.

  We'll be moving ~10,000 users' home directories from an old DS
5500 with ~20GB of disk to this system.

  What I'd like to hear are experiences with similar setups. Did
you use UFS or ADVFS? Why? Is LSM required? Have you added new
disks? How hard was it; how much downtime?

  TIA

  Sysadmins don't go to hell; we're already doing our time in purgatory.
