Hi ZFS''ers,

We''re putting together an internal ZFS performance document and
could use your experiences.  If you have ZFS performance data to
share please send it to me.  I''m looking for good news or bad,
whatever your actual experience is.  Specific quantitative data
is most useful.  ("It seems faster than VxFS on my widgeebot project"
is interesting - but not very.)  If you send any data, please be sure
to be specific about the version of ZFS (such as S10 6/06 unpatched,
Solaris Nevada build 56,  S10 11/06 with the following patches, etc.)
that you used to get those results.  Also please be as specific as
possible about the hardware and the application environment.

Inside the ZFS team we''re working hard on a number of features, and
particularly on performance.  More information can only help us.

Please reply directly to me, and let me know if you are willing to
let me share your information - shrouded or attributed - in a
summary to this alias at a later date.

Thanks,
Fred Zlotnick
