Ugh .. no I didn't.  Thanks.

Posting of results removed from blog.

I think I understand why they don't want benchmarks published.

I don't believe that this restriction applies to OpenSolaris
(IANAL, YMMV, IIRC).

Sort of says something about the "Open Source" nature of the OS.

FWIW my own testing of ZFS under OpenSolaris, compared
with other Linux filesystems, showed the same issue for
write's but much faster read performance.  This was about
a year ago though!

What limited information I have been able to find suggests that "thar be dragons" (e.g. don't tune, that it is smarter than you are, and it auto tunes). Yeah. Right.

I just want this file system to be about on par with its Linux counterpart on the same hardware.
