Slow performance writing to NetApp filer

[Joshua Baker-LePain]

I just submitted <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=391021> 
regarding an odd issue we're having.  Fedora (both 7 and 8) have horribly 
slow performance when writing to our NetApp FAS3020 filer.  I've tested on 
2 sets of hardware (i386 and x86_64, with tg3 and e1000 NICs).  No matter 
what I try, it won't go faster than ~5MB/s.  The same hardware running 
CentOS-5 gets ~50MB/s.  Performance is just fine pointing the Fedora boxes 
at a Panasas filer.

Has anybody else run into this?  It seems a rather odd bug to me.
