[zfs-discuss] NFS and Tar/Star Performance

2007-06-10 Thread Siegfried Nikolaivich
This is an old topic, discussed many times at length. However, I still wonder if there are any workarounds to this issue except disabling ZIL, since it makes ZFS over NFS almost unusable (it's a whole magnitude slower). My understanding is that the ball is in the hands of NFS due to ZFS's
