Hi All (but mostly Sven),
I stumbled across this great gem:
files.gpfsug.org/presentations/2014/UG10_GPFS_Performance_Session_v10.pdf
and I'm wondering which, if any, of those tuning parameters are still
relevant with the 4.2.3 code. Specifically for a CNFS cluster. I'm
exporting a gpfs fs as an NFS root to 1k nodes. The boot storm is
particularly ugly and the storage doesn't appear to be bottlenecked.
I see a lot of waiters like these:

and I'm wondering if there's anything immediate one would suggest to
help with that.
