You got it: it's got all of the problems that I have with OpenFiler but
worse (no recent releases, uncertain future), and add to it the need to
port everything over to it (Solaris != Linux).
And while the tech of ZFS et. al. may be amazing, I do not overly need it
with this solution. I need a way to access lots of raw space remotely.
That's about it. (OK, block-level dedupe would be really nice. But not
enough.)

And given Oracle's current stance in the computer industry ("It's my ball
and I'm taking it home!"), I'm not holding my breath. Any community using
OpenSolaris code will be completely on its own, and will diverge from
Solaris no matter what.
