NetApp uses a large system-local NVRAM buffer, do they not?
Yes... and for clusters its chared via some kind of NUMA interconnect.
Anyhow, thats doesn't prevent disk/fs corruption alone, I suspect it
might be one of the reasons they use raid4 and not raid5 (plus they
also get better LVM management).
