That makes sense. Speaking of NetApp, we're using the 3050C with 4 FC
shelfs. Any generic advice other than the NetApp (their NFS oracle
tuning options)
that might be useful? (e.g. turning off snapshots)

In fact the benefit of the NVRAM is precisely that it makes sure

Having run PostgreSQL on a NetApp with input from NetApp, this is
correct. fsync should be turned on, but you will not incur the *real*
direct-to-disk cost of the sync, it will be direct-to-NVRAM.
