Oh, that's precious! It's not an arbitrary limit, it's a safety feafure! > Outside of that... I don't see ANYTHING in your list they didn't do first. Then you don't know ANYTHING about either platform. Constant-time snapshots, for example. ZFS has them; NetApp's are O(N), where N is the total number of blocks, because that's how big their bitmaps are. If you think O(1) is not a revolutionary improvement over O(N), then not only do you not know much about either snapshot algorithm, you don't know much about computing. Sorry, everyone else, for feeding the troll. Chum the water all you like, I'm done with this thread.
