OK; thanks. It seems slightly odd to have two very similar features (OSD+iSCSI looks functionally like traditional NFS to me), and there wasn't a mention of this in the original proposal, so it's good to hear. For ZFS alignment, I'm curious about ACL handling with OSD and what happens if Solaris becomes an OSD target rather than initiator, but perhaps those are things for the eventual project mailing list. -- James Carlson, KISS Network <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
