zfs/nfs poor performance compared to zfs/smb

807559Mar 4 2008 — edited Mar 6 2008

I setup zfs with sharenfs on my solaris box and i'm having a very poor performance with nfs (about 1-3MB/s).
When i share the same zfs volume with sharesmb performance is very good (about 40-50MB/s) for a single disk zfs volume on a gigabit network.

Both tests where made using MAC OSX 10.5.2 client using a single iso file transfert (about 4Gigs).

I also mount through nfs my MAC client (using apple nfs share) from the solaris box and copy the file to the ZFS volume, nfs performance was very good in this case (45-50MB/s).

Why my solaris zfs/nfs sharing is so slow compared to mac nfs sharing or solaris zfs/smb sharing ?
