Ken, Sorry to be slow to reply, and I'm moving this over to companion-discuss. Maybe that would work, I don't know. I first wanted to get all interested parites to put their needs out on the table so as a community we could look at it and try to decide what is or is not possible. I'm not adverse to working, or having as many in the community focus on one project, but think the community needs to understand how they want to have a common set of libs and go with it. If the Nexentra libs duplicate the Sun libs, that could be a problem that would be best worked out before too much effort was put forth. I don't know how that would sit with the Nexenta folks, they might not be flexible, I don't know. But I would like to work for most distros out today for OpenSolaris so it would become something that everyone could build on. It would be nice if the community wasn't so fragmented, but I don't know of an easy solution for that. -- Alan DuBoff - Sun Microsystems Solaris x86 Engineering
