I'm not sure if it's a version thing, or something else ... I am running solaris 10u6 (at least a year or two old) and the performance of that is not just fine ... it's super awesome. An important note, though, is that I'm using samba and not the zfs built-in cifs. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
