We've done some testing with multiple servers on the same boxes, in fact 
I have 3 servers running on each box that I'm testing with.  It is okay 
until all three start to want one of the two cpus in the boxes.
We've also done some tests with running a server dedicated to each raid 
array, however it didnt turn out to be too awesome, we will at some 
point make an effort to extensively test running multiple servers on the 
same pvfs2 partitions, and I'll update the list with our findings.
