It is very nice to know (and as other posters noted: perhaps we should be more verbose about these things) I have to ask though: do you guys have a list of zfs features that are scheduled to be available via POSIX fs APIs? I could very imagine how clone/promote/send/recv can be managed in a similar fashion. Thanks, Roman. P.S. It is tempting to think that our feedback on snapshotting via .zfs/snapshot was taken into account -- the trouble is, we were suggesting that around the same time you were implementing it ;-) _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
