Ok, so about the same range of responses as the Sybase question.  I
guess I'm just confused.......

Some people said "We love it, it ROCKS!" and "We've run it like this for
over a year and have had no problems."

Others said "Are you insane or just stupid?!" and "You'll regret it.."

I guess it comes down to type of use.  Most comments revolved around
transactions and less around size.  One responder said that it ran fine
on NetApp while they were in the ten's of thousands of transactions but
once they hit half to a million it went downhill.  Part of the reason
would be NFS as a protocol, the overhead is enormous.  Even attaching it
to a server direct would alleviate only a portion of the problem,
network traffic, but NFS would still blow chunks 
IMHO, it all revolves around this issue of number of transactions.  And
since I'm nowhere near 500k, I will try the NetApp.  After all, it's
been great with everything else so far....

Thanks to everyone who responded, there were many.
