Tags: ZFS, NFS, Performance
I recently learn about NFS on ZFS interaction problem reading the great blog of Ben Rockwood. Although not directly related to what he encountered, this recent great post about how NFS behaves with ZFS backend, particularly on the performance comparison front, says a lot of things about why you might see poor performance using this two technologies together.
To go deeper on this front, you can read more about the ZIL purpose on Eric Kustarz's weblog, and follow closely this ZFS thread on the OpenSolaris website.
