Well, these questions probably haven't been repeated all that much, but getting answers to them would be a good start to a FAQ.
1) What is a NetApp Model XYZ? [Have a brief feature list and product position summary for anything NetApp ever made, like the FAservers, the F220 vs. F210/F230, etc. Maybe we could get some anecdotes related to the choice of faceplate colours for the various filers ;-) ]
2) What third-party components can I use? [Product number and vendors for drives, RAM, cables, shelves and canisters. Include suitable disclaimers that you may void your warranty or support contract, etc.]
3) How do I shrink the filesystem on a NetApp? [Heck, I haven't figured this out... only way is backup to tape, restripe the whole unit and restore from tape?]
4) Why does Solaris 2.5 'du' not show the right file sizes? [Actually, I think this is covered in the Solaris FAQ too]
5) Why can't I put more than 52GB on an F210 or F220, even though it can physically hold more?
That's all I can think of at the moment.
