A little work has snowballed into even more of the network systems in DragonFly being pulled apart in order to get rid of the Giant Lock. It may delay the 2.8 release by a week or two, but it’s already paying dividends, such as NFSv3 now performing at maximum physically possible speeds on gigabit Ethernet.
A running description of activity related to DragonFly BSD.
so nfs is now “holy-shit fast”?! nice wording ;) some numbers/benchmarks would be nice though, which FS was used? what nics, etc.
