Did you try NexentaCore? You gain full control over command line, like in OpenSolaris. However it seems faster and got more bugs fixed than OpenSolaris b134.
I have already had OpenSolaris b134 crash one of my disk systems, I would never install it again... Besides, I would never get full 1 gigabit speed over NFS with OpenSolaris, I barely managed a 100-200 Mbits/sec, however in NexentaCore with the same hardware, Im maxing out my gigabit network.
