We were promised de-dupe would be available a couple months after we first purchased the units in December of 2008. In reality, it took almost a year to get the feature, and it doesn't even work. We can turn de-dupe off, but it doesn't fix that we have hundreds of TB of de-duped data already written, that we can't delete or destroy the datasets without bricking the systems for days/weeks while the delete is happening. See CR 6924824 if you want the details. I'm more angry that we keep getting the carrot on a stick treatment, while we could have already switched to another vendor with stable CIFS and iSCSI services, with working de-dupe. -- Brent Jones br...@servuhome.net _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
