Often that's the case of people selecting (or being forced to select) the
wrong configuration for the codes they want to run. For instance you're
not going to get very far with NASTRAN or Gaussian running RHEL with ext3
on a box with just 2 drives, they're IO hogs and need a fast filesystem.

LS-DYNA on the other hand is pretty well behaved, as long as you remember
to not use it in SMP mode on an SMP box and stick to the MPP (MPI)
version in all cases.. :-)
