Yes, we've been pleasantly surprised by the demand. But, that doesn't mean we're not anxious to expand our ability to address such an important market as OpenSolaris and ZFS. We're actively working on OpenSolaris drivers. We don't expect it to take long - I'll keep you posted. -David

Just a thought, will we be able to split the ioDrive into slices and use it simultaneously as a ZIL and slog device? 5GB of write cache and 75GB of read cache sounds to me like a nice way to use the 80GB model. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

Regarding Solaris, or just a generic cold call? Either way it's interesting to hear that they're making calls. The impression I've had from all the press is that they've been struggling to meet demand. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___

I agree, it looks like it would be perfect, but unfortunately without Solaris drivers it's pretty much a non starter. That hasn't stopped me pestering Fusion-IO wherever I can though to see if they are willing to develop Solaris drivers, almost everywhere I've seen these reviewed there have

Last time I played with one of those, the problem was that it didn't have any drivers for Solaris. It's a PCIE device unlike something like the gigabyte I-Ram or Intel SSD or something. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zfs-discuss
