Ben, have you found the answer?
I did exactly the same steps as you (nfsv3, /etc/system, NFSD_SERVERS, ... )
but no luck. My problem is a big subversion repository (~260 000 files, 1.5 Gb
in size). I've Xraid (hardware raid5) connected to my x4100 via 2 Gb FC link.
Solaris 10 x86_64 06/06 + patches.
Once I'm trying to do "svn co .." localy on the xraid volume that is connected
to Xraid with ZFS (one slice - one zpool), it spends ~2m to checkout 1.5
repository that is really amazing (svn server is located on another server):
> $ hostname
nfsclient
> $ time /usr/local/bin/svn co svn+ssh://svn.domain.com/svn/trunk > > /dev/null
> 2>&1
> real 2m9.800s
> user 0m50.091s
> sys 0m54.495s
> $ time du -skh
> 1.5G .

> real 0m18.404s
> user 0m0.505s
> sys 0m3.257s

But performing the same operation via NFS (from x2100 with Solaris 10 x86_64 +
patches) this takes too many time.
My client setup is like the following (non-default options for "rsize" and
"wsize"):
> $ cat /etc/auto_home | grep xraid
> * -vers=3,rsize=16384,wsize=16384 nfsserver:/xraid2/home/&
$ nfsstat -m
/home/user from nfsserver:/xraid2/home/user
Flags:
vers=3,proto=tcp,sec=sys,hard,intr,link,symlink,acl,rsize=16384,wsize=16384,retrans=5,timeo=600
Attr cache: acregmin=3,acregmax=60,acdirmin=30,acdirmax=60
No special setup of ZFS:
# zfs get all xraid2/home/user
