Watch for this option if you benchmark a NetApp.
This is from the ONTAP 5.2.1
documentation on CD. It appears to be a hidden option; that's why I
didn't see it when we viewed the output of the `options` command.

Improving filer performance

Improving performance on directory lookups
Turning the nfs.big_endianize_fileid option On improves performance on
directory lookups for clients that use the file ID in the file handle
as a hash key in certain ways. Enable this option if your NFS clients
are mainly running HP-UX or IRIX.
Note: If you turn the big_endianize_fileid option On, all NFS clients
that have mounted directories from the filer must unmount and remount
them; otherwise, they get "stale file handle" errors on all references
to files already opened on the filer until they
unmount and remount all directories.
Until next time...
