When copying or removing directories with lots of content, it feels like it takes more time to complete the same task on Solaris than on Linux. Is Solaris is really slower than Linux for file system related tasks? Is the slowness due to some default security and data consistency features in Solaris? Can I change any config on my Solaris system to make these operations quicker?
Raju, this is an issue which has been covered many, many times in various fora and a google search should have revealed that. Try searching for "SYNC" and "data corruption" and "write caching". Which would you prefer - to have the operation tell you it completes but to actually not guarantee that your data is written, or to know that the data was written before the operation completed? Do you value your data? James C.
