I have a couple of performance questions.

Right now, I am transferring about 200GB of data via NFS to my new Solaris server. I started this YESTERDAY. When writing to my ZFS pool via NFS, I notice what I believe to be slow write speeds. My client hosts vary between a MacBook Pro running Tiger to a FreeBSD 6.2 Intel server. All clients are connected to the a 10/100/1000 switch.

* Is there anything I can tune on my server?
* Is the problem with NFS?
* Do I need to provide any other information?


If you have a lot of small files, doing this sort of thing
over NFS can be pretty painful... for a speedup, consider:

(cd <oldroot on client; tar cf - .) | ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] '(cd <newroot on server>; tar xf -)'
