[Pvfs2-users] Growing storage

Hi,
	I'm looking to build a new PVFS2 storage and it seems that the price  
sweet spot these days is on boxes with a lot of local disks (my  
estimates are 5 to 10 TB per chassis). To provide enough bandwidth to  
clients, I'm thinking about connecting PVFS2 servers to the switch  
via 10Ge. (We already have a Cisco switch and can not go IB. GigE and  
10G are the only choices, as far as I know.) Did anybody have any  
experience with such a setup? What pitfalls are there?
Thanks,
--andrew
