What is faster? Solaris 10 or OpenSolaris?
Title says it all.

For a high performance fileserver, what's the faster solution?

As it implements newer projects and versions sooner or exclusively I would expect OpenSolaris to be either equally fast or faster.

Hm, just realized, the genuine CIFS is not available in Solaris 10, so that says it all...

What do you mean genuine CIFS ? Solaris 10 supports the sharesmb property if that's what you are looking for.

Yes, but the kernel internal CIFS service is not part of Solaris 10 afaik.

Well, there must be a reason, why Sun's high-performance servers ship with OpenSolaris instead of Solaris 10, right? Smilie

what are "high performance" servers? our M series servers, which are the fastest so far, are shipped with solaris 10. opensolaris is supported but there are NO patches for opensolaris. you've to upgrade the system each time to a new version if you've problems. the upgrade isn't hard to do but i won't recommend that in a productive and/or high available environment...

Well, I don't remember exactly, where I read most about it. Yet I remember pretty clearly:

- Speed comes from: ZFS and kernel built-in CIFS/SMB server
- Only OpenSolaris comes with CIFS in the kernel.

My number one reason for Solaris is speed, so I want to get most out of it, does that sound reasonable?

You are definitely right about the "OpenSolaris no good in productive environment"-thing, I just realized OpenSolaris dumped me in a grub-shell right after installation, doesn't provide a lot of convidence for the future Smilie
