Thank you, setting SHARE_NOINUSE_CHECK indeed speeds up things substantially. However, there seems to be a bug in the NFS part of Solaris 10u2 when so many filesystems are shared. When I run "showmount -e" after the pool has been (successfully) imported, I get an error:
$ showmount -e showmount: RPC: Unable to receive In /var/svc/log/network-nfs-server:default.log one can see the following messages: [ Jul 4 12:10:34 Stopping because process dumped core. ] [ Jul 4 12:10:34 Executing stop method ("/lib/svc/method/nfs-server stop 52") ] [ Jul 4 12:17:24 Method "stop" exited with status 0 ] [ Jul 4 12:17:24 Executing start method ("/lib/svc/method/nfs-server start") ] [ Jul 4 12:20:17 Method "start" exited with status 0 ] [ Jul 4 12:47:52 Stopping because process dumped core. ] [ Jul 4 12:47:52 Executing stop method ("/lib/svc/method/nfs-server stop 108") ] [ Jul 4 12:54:43 Method "stop" exited with status 0 ] [ Jul 4 12:54:43 Executing start method ("/lib/svc/method/nfs-server start") ] [ Jul 4 12:57:33 Method "start" exited with status 0 ] [ Jul 4 12:57:43 Stopping because process dumped core. ] [ Jul 4 12:57:43 Executing stop method ("/lib/svc/method/nfs-server stop 148") ] [ Jul 4 13:04:37 Method "stop" exited with status 0 ] [ Jul 4 13:04:37 Executing start method ("/lib/svc/method/nfs-server start") ] [ Jul 4 13:07:28 Method "start" exited with status 0 ] [ Jul 4 13:08:18 Stopping because process dumped core. ] [ Jul 4 13:08:18 Executing stop method ("/lib/svc/method/nfs-server stop 160") ] [ Jul 4 13:15:24 Method "stop" exited with status 0 ] [ Jul 4 13:15:24 Executing start method ("/lib/svc/method/nfs-server start") ] [ Jul 4 13:18:17 Method "start" exited with status 0 ] As you can see, the system stops and starts the nfs server subsequently over and over.
