"Matrurity of Linux" That is a funny mix of words, and certainly not how I would conjoin them. Consider SLES9 was released only a few years ago, yet with an ext3 filessytem you cannot grow it online! In AIX 3.2, circa 1995, you could grow a filesystem online. A supposedly modern operating system and filesystem cannot do what was achievable 12 years ago by another filesystem and operating system?
That is just one thing which proves the fallacy of Linux and makes a mockery of its droids. With AIX 6.1 and POWER 7, IBM has Active Memory Expansion which allows a server to utilize 100% more RAM than it physically has installed. AIX 6.1 has Kernel Recovery which allows it to recover from errors in selected routines. AIX 6.1 with POWER 6 has Kernel Storage Protection Keys to increase serviceability by enhancing the detection of incorrect kernel storage references. AIX 5.3 came out with the Geographic Logical Volume Manager which is partly from HACMP XD. Cluster Systems Management which was previously PSSP. AIX is light years ahead of Linux which can only hope to someday have a mere fraction of AIX's capabilities and technologies. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
