I agree with the general sentiment, but it can get prohibitive if you also have a sizable DEV/QA/STG environment that you want to have the same as PRD. I don't mind gold-plated support for PRD, but for the rest, it'd be handy budget-wise if Oracle simply had a basic parts-only warranty for hardware, and a patches-only support for software. It's all we need for the majority of our environment, but it no longer seems available under Larry Ellison's watch. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
