What issues, if any, are likely to surface with using Solaris

works great in vmware server, IO rates suck.
I'm assuming that ZFS's ability to maintain data integrity
will prevail and protect me from any problems that the
addition of vmware might introduce.
no problems so far, created two virtual disks and concat, its just a
toy/test bed for nexenta, only problem I have with nexenta is that the
64bit mode crashes on boot. b55 may be fixed who knows.
There are known issues with 64bit operation under vmware due
to it not fully emulating a 64bit cpu.
Are there likely to be any issues with disk drive IO
performance?
i'm getting 11MB/s on bonnie++, the disks are backed by sata drives
on a ultra 20 2.6ghz and has 512MB allocated.
not exactly a speed demon it would get about 130MB/s on the raw hardware.
It's not the speed I want, it's the data reliability..
to be a CVS server at home :)
