Jumbo Frames for imaging OSX?

[ShakataGaNai]

We're experimenting with ways to get the best performance out of imaging our OSX machines from a local JDS. Has anyone tried to do imaging from a JDS to MacBook's using Jumbo Frames? Pros? Cons? Did it help performance?

We're also going to be adding LACP and RAID0 from SSDs to the mix. We're hoping we can bulk image a LOT of machines from one JDS at a time. Anyone who's played with similar, I'd appreciate any input. Otherwise, we'll report back with our results.

What do you expect will be your bottleneck? Sounds like you are not sure if disk or network I/O will be the issue?

@ShakataGaNai, have you successfully images via a JDS?

@bentoms Yes, we do image from JDS's regularly, everyday. Yes, we're aware that WebDAV sucks. Unfortunately our JDS's are Linux based so the script will not work for us.

@alexjdale The bottleneck previously is Network I/O. A single client being imaged can suck up a 1gbps link no issue, so we want to make that transfer as efficient as possible (hence jumbo frames), we want to expand it as much as possible (hence LACP), and we want to make sure if disk on the server comes into play - that's as fast as possible as well (hence RAID 0)
