That is a trick question. The code you're referring to was (mostly?) for the global networking option for SunCluster... back in the day when it was to-be the VAXCluster killer. AFAIK, nobody has used the global networking or pxfs since around 2004. The intended use case was for applications like Oracle RAC. The more typical use case is for a traditional failover cluster where neither global networking nor pxfs are used. So the real question is: does anyone use global networking or pxfs? NB: pxfs only works for raw, UFS and (IIRC) HSFS... does not work for ZFS -- richard > > Rationale here is that if it doesn’t work, and is never going to work, I can > clean up some dead code that is on very hot code paths.
