I think at the time I think there was no other choice for ZFS/NFS. The
Oracle empire made sure of that.

Now I am considering the paid version of Nexenta utilising NFSoverRDMA
and NFSoverIPoverIB. Initial performance results are extremely
promising for our particular mysqly I/O patterns but it comes at a
price.

ZFS on Linux is not ready yet I think.

Oracle also sell a ZFS box with infiniband support. Its pretty cheap
and very powerful....
