Yes. These patches are in the code tree, currently at b143 (~18 weeks newer than b134) > Aside from their management features / UI what is the core OS difference if > we move to Nexenta from OpenSolaris b134?

Am I just not RTFM enough on finding new builds? No, what you see is what you get. After the CIC there hasn't been a binary release from Oracle, just source releases. I read this as saying the community should build their own distros. In a quick look at http://www.genunix.org it appears that Nexenta and EON are the only distro releases since early March. Rich Lowe has released a b142 tarball, too, but does that qualify as a distro? > I hate to move to Nexenta, I would think in the future Oracle will maintain > this better than a third party and don't want to switch back and forth. I understand, but if actions speak louder than words, then consider joining the Nexenta core platform community at http://www.nexenta.org But don't forget to stay up to date with ZFS on zfs-discuss :-) -- richard -- Richard Elling rich...@nexenta.com +1-760-896-4422 ZFS and NexentaStor training, Rotterdam, July 13-15, 2010 http://nexenta-rotterdam.eventbrite.com/ _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
