haha, Tim, yes, I see the Open spirit in this reply!   ;-)

As I said, I am just exploring data.

The Sun J4000 SPC1 and SPC2 benchmark results were nice, just lacking other 
published results with the iSCSI HBA as DAS, not as a network storage device 
(as 7000).  Though I would attempt to say those results can be a basis for 7000 
block-performance...

any comment?
Thanks!

    Ok, thanks Tim, which SPC are you talking about?   

    SPC-1 and SPC-2 don't test NAS, those are block perf.
    SPECsfs97 v2/v3 and sfs2008 have no OpenStorage results.

    If there are standard storage benchmarks out there, I would not be here 
asking folks.

    To your point, how is the OpenSolaris native CIFS vs Linux Samba then?  (if 
you think this is more apple-to-apple than they both run Samba)

    Again, I am here to explore data, not to argue, if I give you a dozen 
configurations, could you get me the performance estimates and how the 
estimates come from?  I didn't think that route is possible.

    Thanks.

  Sorry, I was referring to SPEC, not SPC.  Perhaps you could ask one of the 
folks from Sun on these mailing lists if they have plans to post results.  I'd 
imagine they do for at least the storage 7000 series.

  I think native cifs on Solaris vs. Samba on Linux is fair simply because it's 
what someone rolling out an implementation would use.  It'll never be 100% 
apples-to-apples, so I'd say real-world is preferred over hampering one system 
to make it *closer* to the other.

  As for configurations, I probably have access to enough hardware to do most 
of the benchmarking, but this time of year, being end-of-quarter, I wouldn't 
have the time to do so.  That doesn't mean there isn't someone else lurking who 
does.
