Just from my point of view, I've seen quite a bit of push from Sun sales guys about 'Open Storage'.
If Sun are touting OpenSolaris as the OS for this low cost DIY storage platform, they won't do themselves any favors by delaying releases without explanation. It can't be hard to write a one line explanation can it? Everyone expects problems, we're only human after all. Hopefully somebody upstream will get the message... :-) On 23 Oct 2008, at 16:35, Thomas Maier-Komor wrote: > Matt Wilby schrieb: >> No note explaining the delay.
