I wonder how much that would change with a bbu NVRAM card for an external journal for ext4 and the disks on md. Unless one cannot add a bbu NVRAM card...
Good question, they are after all ( the Sun 45xx's ) just opteron box's with a mostly standard build. Finding a CentOS compatible ( drivers pre-included, and not crap like cciss ) would not be too hard.
Who wants to offer up a machine to test on :)
