I disagree with you here and so did the ARC that this is an incompatible change. It is a set of ACLS for NFSv4 and ZFS filesystems with a compatible change to the existing system call - ie binaries still worked as they did before they just can't backup the new ACLs. This just wasn't possible the new ACLs have information in them that you just couldn't express with the old ones; plus they are what customers want and need and backup and archiver software will just have to change or become irrelevant. Veritas and Legato have the same choice to make for their backup software that you have for your archiver, I'm pretty sure they will just make the change. -- Darren J Moffat _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
