Don't forget that FreeBSD 7 includes ZFS support, so
there's another option for you there.
Not sure we can do this, as the user is looking at Linux and Solaris.
Introducing a third element might not fly (and the commercial software
they want to run is restricted to Linux, Windows, and Solaris).

Maybe we will try benchmarking with that.
I just want this file system to be about on par with
its Linux counterpart on the same hardware.
I reckon if you're going to compare apples to apples
then you probably want to test it against a Linux
checksumming filesystem, the only real contender
I'm aware of being btrfs (still pre-alpha).

Alternatively you can disable checksumming on a ZFS
volume and retest it against XFS, etc.
zfs set checksum=off foo/bar
I did turn off checksum, zil, and other things. No dice. Zfs does not
appear to do well with hardware accelerated RAID.
