Exchange came out of it working but with the vmdk file so corrupted I couldn't migrate off the lun. I ended up having to build a new exchange server, move all of the mailboxes to it, and decomission the old one. The blackberry server, my front-end exchange server, and this webserver were all so totally distroyed I had to restore from backups. The blackberry and web-mail servers were windows, so even restoring from the backup was tricky and ended up being a rebuild instead of a recovery. This one was actually the easiest. Once I rebuilt the server, I recovered /etc/http, /www and /var/lib/mysql from backup, rebooted and it all just sort of fell together.

Or was it a loss of a lot of data, some being the website? If your hardware supports it you can use jumbo frames, but short of a database, it's rarely worth the effort. NFS by itself should treat you right, I get really good peformance out of it. W. Geez, how much data is on the website?!? Or was it a loss of a lot of data, some being the website?
