Russell, thanks much for the testing data! Although out of date and not a
server data, not what I am looking for, the data is valuable on the thread
for others that may have the need. And one day, we can have "open storage
validated open performance data" as a brand....
anyway, since we are talking about OpenSolaris vs Windows now, I do have
another request to the list, on NAS protocol and performance.
Any comments on OpenSolaris native CIFS vs. Windows SMB 2.0?
Data or theory, all welcome, thanks!
See below for tech history, if not already clear.
I doubt many folks still remember IBM invented SMB (CIFS) and Sun invented
NFS, and NetApp did not invent NAS!

Barry Feigenbaum originally designed Server Message Block (SMB) at IBM to
enable local file-access into a networked file-system. Microsoft merged the
SMB protocol with the LAN Manager product and continued to add features to
the protocol in every version of Windows.
At around the time when Sun Microsystems announced WebNFS (an extension to
the NFS file system), Microsoft launched an initiative in 1996 to rename SMB
to Common Internet File System (CIFS), and added more advanced features.
Microsoft submitted some partial specifications as Internet-Drafts to the
IETF though these submissions have expired.
Because of the importance of the SMB protocol in Microsoft Windows platform,
from the open source camp, the Samba project originated with the aim of
reverse engineering and providing a free implementation of a compatible SMB
client and server for use with non-Microsoft operating systems.
With Windows Vista, Microsoft introduced SMB 2.0.
And with Windows Server 2008, SMB 2.0 again the official name for MS file
service protocol, not CIFS again. And MS claims Windows SMB 2.0 bring huge
performance gain.

Are you talking about the stack overflow checking that is added by the
compiler?
