> With zfs, file systems are in many ways more like directories than what we used to call file systems. They draw from pooled storage. They have low overhead and are easy to create and destroy. File systems are sort of like super-functional directories, with quality-of-service control and cloning and snapshots.
When you put it that way, I really look forward to an explorer.exe-style file browser tree with pools at the top, maroon file systems underneath, and yellow directories underneath those. I can see a time 5 years down the road where ZFS file systems are actually called "superfolders"! :) *mentally right clicks on /pool/mydocuments and chooses "revert to yesterday's snapshot"* This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
