ZFS discuss is fine but the thread has gone into non ZFS related and is generic backup stuff. If there are ZFS specifics - like the question about extended attributes then I think this is a reasonable place to discuss. Discussion about nomenclature of Amanda when it does not concern ZFS is not appropriate for here. -- Darren J Moffat _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
