If I recall, the low priority was based on the percieved low demand for the feature in enterprise organizations. As I understood it shrinking a pool is percieved as being a feature most desired by home/hobby/development users, and that enterprises mainly only grow thier pools, not shrink.
So if anyone in enterprise has need to shrink pools they might want to notify thier Sun support people, and make their voices heard. Unless of course I'm wrong.... Which has been known to happen from time to time. :) -Kyle > -mg > > > This message posted from opensolaris.org > _______________________________________________ > zfs-discuss mailing list > zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org > http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss > _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
