Notes/Summary Of Tuning Parameters

Note: Storage Processors are references as "SP0"; File Processors as "FP0"; Ethernet Processors as "EP0"
The filesystems were mapped to the File Processors as follows - FP0:F1,F2,F3,F4
All Load Generators used the same LADDIS Mount Points list with the same /etc/filesystems entries
The LADDIS Prime Client was "client1e".  The 7051 acted as the router between networks.  ThinNet Ethernet cables/tranceivers were used.
2 1GB drives are packaged in 1 Disk Modules.  Automatic striping between the two drives is provided by the controller using 128K striping width.
Each drive provides 256KB buffer (512KB per Module)
