However, initially the most sane appraoch is to pick one filesystem so that the initial effort can be focused on a great experience and take advantage of that filesystem's features.
Agreed. This is all about keeping the focus tight. In terms of "bang for the buck", we can't go far wrong with ZFS, since it's what the industry is abuzz over, and we can do all kinds of neat things with it from an end user point of view (as is currently being explored in this thread). For other workloads we care about, such as HPC, other file systems might make more sense. But for the first release, we're trying to build momentum, and ZFS seems clearly the way to go to do that. -ian -- Ian Murdock 650-331-9324 http://ianmurdock.com/ "Don't look back--something might be gaining on you." --Satchel Paige _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
