Yes, but there are some interesting technical challenges. One is that the zpool and zfs version numbering space is flat, so unless the new on-disk (and in-stream) formats can be reverse-engineered, the compatibility story will be unusual, to say the least. -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W <carls...@workingcode.com> _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
