Hi, This I don't think is totally true, VirtIO NIC driver support isn't in Illumos-gate yet but disk drivers have been in for a bit. https://github.com/illumos/illumos-gate/blob/master/usr/src/uts/common/io/vioblk/vioblk.c I have been running r151005 which had them included for awhile now with no issues to report. Though they seem to not have been included in any recent stable OmniOS release (up to r151008, haven't upgraded to 10) so I don't know why that is. I haven't needed the network performance as much as the realtek support seems good enough for this small scale ZFS NFS fileserver we run using vioblk drivers. Thanks, derek -- Derek T.
