Onboard nvidia nforce 570 Ultra MCP onboard gigabit nic for the Asus M2N-E board. nge: [ID 801725 kern.info] NOTICE: nge0: Using FIXED interrupt type mac: [ID 469746 kern.info] NOTICE: nge0 registered mac: [ID 435574 kern.info] NOTICE: nge0 link up, 100 Mbps, full duplex This is actually the first time I checked the nic. Looks like ndd reports it as being in 100Mbps. Not gigabit. I'm not sure what that's all about. Although I did just find out that dladm replaces ndd. ... -end repost- As for the other protocols, I have stats for those: FTP from WinXP to Solaris ZFS Read: 11MiB/s Write: 4.7MiB/s, spiking to 6.0MiB/s SFTP from WinXP to Solaris ZFS Read: 500KiB/s Write: 1.9MiB/s (odd, no fluctuation in speed, and I'm sure this is a windows thing as I had the same dismal performance when attempting SFTP to a linux box) FTP from Linux to Solaris Read: 2.6MiB/s Write: 4.4MiB/s SFTP from Linux to Solaris Read: 2.6MiB/s Write: 4.6MiB/s Those just from single file transfers. It's not like I did 10 tests. Jose Borrego noted the following in the cifs discuss list: I should put back a fix related to performance this week CR 6686647. I don't know if it's related to what you are experiencing but the performance boost is quite significant.
