I run CVS code most of the time, but only with handful of users and
with them it has been working OK. I wouldn't use CVS code in production
without thorough stress testing in a lab first.

No, I'm just not very fond of NFS myself but it seems that for you
it is doing job pretty well.

Your CLARiiON is a normal SAN device and you have some singe host
providing NFS?

It didn't quite open to me how your mail spool is set up, is it some
meta LUN distributed over two disk arrays or do you just have one huge
LUN and mirror it between two arrays?
