Just re-ran them now.  The seek value is kinda bogus as the machine has 2G 
of RAM. I could not run larger files as LINUX does not allow for greater 
than 2GB per file on ext3.  If anything, postmark shows it to be slower, 
bonnie about the same.  Just running iozone and will try and get all those 
together and post.



[nfs]# sysctl -a | grep mps
debug.mpsafevfs: 1
debug.mpsafenet: 1
debug.mpsafevm: 1
