I thought he wanted 90MB/s reads per node (and I've demonstrated that's doable
with NFS). The only reason I'm not showing it with four clients is because
that machine only has two GigE interfaces, so it's not going to happen with
any protocol. That also showed ~80MB/s writes per node.

The absolute definiton of safe here is quite important. In the event of a
power loss, and a failure of the UPS, quite possibly also followed by a
failure of the RAID battery you'll get data loss, as some writes won't be
committed to disk despite the client thinking they are.
Now personally, I'll gladly accept that restriction in many situations where
performance is critical.
