Hm I see, that indeed does not necessarily sounds attractive.
So either I'd need to wait until (if ever) ESXi runs NFSoRDMA or move to iSCSI after all.

Does that imply that you're able to reach similar speeds remotely as locally on running say fio on a datastore/zvol? That would be a significant improvement then in my eyes?I have done this with Ubuntu, SPDK and ESXi with zvol backing, it's not an easy "snap your fingers" setup, and the gains vs iSCSI iSER are basically nonexistent, since the bottleneck seems to be the zfs file system/zvol, rather than the network protocol running over RDMA.
