Bug Description
Disk write performance is extremely low on Nexenta 2.0 beta 2, compared to other operating systems running on the same hardware.
Block write performance as measured by bonnie++:
Nexenta 2.0 beta 2: 4 mb/sec
FreeBSD 7.1 (ZFS): 58 mb/sec
Opensolaris preview 2009.06 b109: 74 mb/sec
Disk drive: Mtron Pro 7000 SSD
Disk controller: tried both connecting the drive to the mainboard (Nvidia MCP55 chipset) as well as an Areca 1200 pci-e SATA card.

Try running some basic speed tests like the following:
sudo hdparm -t /dev/your_drive
&
sudo hdparm -T /dev/your_drive
You might have to do some sysctl and ioctl hackery.
I've been running Ubuntu 'hardy' with a generic 500gb eSATA connection
and was running into very low transfer speeds with this drive. Come to
find out, DMA wasn't being enabled for some reason.
I have not tried this with any of the recent Nexenta buillds, so your
results might be different.
I hope this helps a little.
