I do not know yet, but so far everything seem to be as bad (IMHO). Solaris 
10u8 crashes hard when a mere 20 clients try to read or write large amounts of 
data from the system, if I go to a 10 Gb/s NIC the network stacks dies....

Opensolaris was not better, Nexenta crashed also, kfreeBSD does not have zfs 
tools, well now it was our time for Debian/Thumper...
