Ok, I'm going to reply to my own question here. After a few hours of thinking, I believe I know what is going on. I am seeing the initial high network throughput as the 4GB of RAM in the server fills up with data. In fact, in this case, I am bound by the speed of the source drive, which tops

I have just built an opensolaris box (2008.11) as a small fileserver (6x 1TB drives as RAIDZ2, kernel CIFS) for home media use and I am noticing an odd behavior copying files to the box. My knowledge of monitoring/analysis tools under Solaris is very limited, and so far I have just been using t
