I agree but it would be nice to keep some room for alternatives. For example there is QFS which is far more capable in other areas like performance, "Quality Of Service", multiple writers and other advanched features (for example the abilty to split data from inodes+log, e.g. you can put data on normal disks and inodes+log in other disks (which becomes very usefull if you put inodes+log on solid state disks, making access to these data _much_ faster and seperate the accesses from the main data, resulting in a faster and "smoother" data throughput...)). And ZFS currently lack important features like "user quotas" which renders ZFS currently _unuseable_ for universities or other large sites with many directories shared by multiple users and the NFS performance on ZFS is currently not very good (for example builting OS/Net (the OpenSolaris "core") on a NFS directory backed by ZFS needs significantly more time than the same setup on NFS+UFS) and on older machines the performance can be described as "disaster". Or short: IMO it would be nice to keep support for alternatives in Solaris/OpenSolaris/Indiana alive... ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) [EMAIL PROTECTED] \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;) _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
