According to a helpful person at Sun, the issue here was that bugs in the category ieee1394/scsa1394 weren't being pushed out to opensolaris.org... Apparently that's now fixed and they should appear in a day or so. > Bug 6560174 'multiple "transport rejected" messages when using zfs > with firewire disk' shows the fatal > problem I'm having.

Solaris SCSI support has been rock solid pretty much since forever, I think the real problem is with scsa1394 which maps SCSA operations onto the firewire protocol. Note that these 'transport rejected' messages are far less common when doing ufs IO to firewire drives (except sometimes during newfs), so it could simply be the case that zfs exercises the scsa1394 driver in different and less tested ways - I remember something similar with the SPARC ATA driver which would make the system virtually unusable during zfs writes. A fix would be nice though. And while we're at it, so would multi- initiator firewire support along the lines of http://oraclenotes.com/ dba/RacLinuxFirewire.htm ... That would allow some nice, cheap but useful configurations for zfs/sun cluster development.
