It's actually been helpful to us, as well.

All of our mail backends are currently Solaris with SAN storage using 
vxfs.  We're considering a move to Linux, but which filesystem to choose 
is still a major unanswered question for us.

After reading this entire thread, it makes me realize that I've been 
taking vxfs for granted.  It's been rock solid and the performance is fine.

Thanks,

Dave
