Is it the ext3 or the exports. M

1) What is the local storage on (controller, disks, raid, etc)
2) Does the IO go up if you do the delete locally, remotely or both
3) What is your definition of unacceptable rate?

I have seen rm on NFS tie up things on various servers.. not sure if
its something the protocol does or something with the filesystem.
