I see in NexentaStor's announcement of Community Edition 3.0.3 they mention 
some backported patches in this release.

Aside from their management features / UI what is the core OS difference if we 
move to Nexenta from OpenSolaris b134? 

These DeDup bugs are my main frustration - if a staff member does a rm * in a 
directory with dedup you can take down the whole storage server - all with 1% 
cpu load and relatively little disk i/o due to DeDup DDT not fitting in the SSD 
+ RAM (l2arc+arc). This is rediculous, something must be single threaded and it 
can't be that difficult to at least allow reads from other files.. Writes 
perhaps are more complex - But in our case the "other files" don't even have 
DeDup enabled on them and they can't be read.

It seems like some of these bugs have been fixed but Oracle hasn't published a 
new build - Perhaps we should be updating to newer builds, I haven't invested 
much time in seeking these out but b134 is the latest "obvious" build I see. Am 
I just not RTFM enough on finding new builds? 

I hate to move to Nexenta, I would think in the future Oracle will maintain 
this better than a third party and don't want to switch back and forth.
