- ext3 on DRBD on two servers with awfully slow RAID-systems
  (zero-channel SCI controller - don't ask) and the filesystem was not
  the problem.
- ext3 on iSCSI (to a NetApp thing AFAIK) also works without a problem -
  but I suspect that things are far from any hardware limits.
Of course, "nodiratime" on the mounts. Never tried "noatime" though.
