We are having a really tough time accepting the performance with ZFS and NFS interaction. I have tried so many different ways trying to make it work (even zfs set:zil_disable 1) and I'm still no where near the performance of using a standard NFS mounted UFS filesystem - insanely slow; especially on file rewrites.
We have been combing the message boards and it looks like there was a lot of talk about this interaction of zfs+nfs back in november and before but since i have not seen much. It seems the only fix up to that date was to disable zil, is that still the case? Did anyone ever get closure on this? We are running solaris 10 (SPARC) .latest patched 11/06 release connecting directly via FC to a 6120 with 2 raid 5 volumes over a bge interface (gigabit). tried raidz, mirror and stripe with no negligible difference in speed. the clients connecting to this machine are HP-UX 11i and OS X 10.4.9 and they both have corresponding performance characteristics. Any insight would be appreciated - we really like zfs compared to any filesystem we have EVER worked on and dont want to revert if at all possible!
