The file server is currently running debian lenny with a 2.6.26 kernel. 
Lenny has a 2.6.30 kernel so I'll install that. I'm also going to config the 
file systems for noatime,date=writeback; turning off atime update and 
journaling only meta data. But even if that solves the problem, it only 
means we're too close to the dege. So maybe i get a 20% boost from those 
changes, during peak, we'll still be over the top.
