Yeah, I searched and found a few threads about it, seems like it won't happen 
anytime soon.

I would actually pay for that feature in OmniOS.

files

Hello,

yes, VAAI could be probably the answer for vmware, and for example NexentaStor 
have some VAAI support as I know, but there were many problems with that (based 
on posts from users on Nexenta's forum) like freezing under heavy load and so 
on.

I gues, it will be very complicated to bring VAAI support to OmniOS.
