Not much bliss to report with OpenSolaris. Getting there was an adventure. I had to find out how to boot from a changed root device (after reconnecting my primary disk, I had disconnected that during the Solaris install so I wouldn't accidentally overwrite it). I had to find a way of transferring my /home: ext3 wasn't recognized, so I copied it to zfs on Linux -- now that was on a logical partition, and Solaris doesn't seem to recognize those; ok, redid the copy to a primary partition -- now Solaris complains about not being able to read ZFS version 6; ok, redid the copy a third time, this time initing the zfs on the Solaris side then writing to it from Linux -- finally it worked.
The times, though, are a "little" discouraging: 1. real 4m26.736s user 0m0.509s sys 0m8.572s 2. real 4m27.082s user 0m0.515s sys 0m8.609s So zfs-fuse actually outperforms zfs on Solaris by a factor of 2! Now I'm impatiently waiting until it gets optimized :) Disclaimer: I admit doing a find is a silly FS benchmark. But I didn't want to benchmark, I wanted to find the best solution for my workload, more or less random access to a bunch of small files. I admit doing a build in Eclipse would have been a better sample than find(1), but installing Eclipse on OpenSolaris would even require that I build Eclipse from source. That was more time than I was willing to invest.
