I get the impression that zfs is a key component of the install/upgrade/patch management story in the future. This is good, in the sense that zfs allows you to do things differently - and in many cases, better. However, I think that hitching the whole new install to the zfs bandwagon is a mistake. Tying the two together makes the project bigger, and also hinders adoption - it's bad enough trying to convince some customers that they ought to start looking at S10 even now, and I can see a large amount of reticence in adopting a new filesystem by some customers and ISVs. It's not even been released yet! So I think that UFS - and SVM - are going to be around for a long while. They're going to have to be dealt with on upgrade systems, at the very least. -- -Peter Tribble L.I.S., University of Hertfordshire - http://www.herts.ac.uk/ http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/
