The problem is that Linux does not have all the nice features of (Open)Solaris, i.e. Crossbow, Comstar, and of course ZFS. You really really want to have your DomUs live in zvols. However, this needs to be pointed out to Oracle. If no customer explicitly asks for Solaris as a supported Dom0, they will not provide it. > That said, I assume that the xVM is community driven, so if Linux can > have xen, what should prevent OSOL from having a thriving community? Nothing. The problem is that 99% just want to use virtualisation, not develop it. Regards -- Volker -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Volker A.
