Trying to compile it (by commenting out the early bail-out when not on Solaris 10) gives loads of compile errors (as expected).
The network performance when trying to read or write using in-kernel CIFS file-serving using a ZFS back-end is quite limited with the e1000 driver, never more than 35-40MB/s transfer rate. This is on a VMware Server 2.0.1 on 64-bit CentOS5.3 on an Intel S3210SHLX board with a quad-core Q9450 CPU @ 2.66GHz and 8GB of RAM (4GB given to OpenSolaris VM). This is tested on b122 of OpenSolaris. If the OpenSolaris VM is given two VCPUs it consumes exactly two CPUs in the host system when running at that speed (100% CPU utilization on both CPUs shown). Testing raw disk performance locally in the VM gives me > 250MB/s sequential read and writes to the 4-disk RAIDZ array (using raw pass-through generic SCSI targets). The disk I/O part of the VM performance is definitely adequate, just not quite sure about the network part as tons of CPU is being utilized while the disks are basically idling... I will try to set up a test environment with a Solaris 10 guest so I can try the actual difference between the e1000 driver and vmxnet3 driver there. On Windows VMs I experience a huge difference. All these VMs are virtualHW version 7. By the way: Anyone having any ideas about the glib-2.0 >= 2.6.0 dependency during configure on OpenSolaris. Any pre-built pkg satisfying that or does it have to be built from source? After the standard install off the Live-CD I installed SUNWgcc and SUNWgmake, but couldn't find any newer version of glib2.0 other than the gnome-libs already installed. /wj ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
