Hello,

I've seen in the "what's new" of Solaris 10 update 8 just released that ZFS now includes the "primarycache" and "secondarycache" properties.

Is this the "equivalent" of the UFS directio?

No.  UFS directio does 3 things:
    1. unbuffered I/O
    2. allow concurrent writers (no single-writer lock)
    3. provide an improved async I/O code path


for the record - iirc UFS will also disable read-aheads with directio.
