We need a hard drive engineer on here. :/

Hey, I've been following this thread with some interest. I just wanted
to note that you guys might like to subscribe to Sun's ZFS-discuss list
and possibly Storage-discuss. The guys on there really are hard-disk
gurus and some of the things they talk about are miles over my head.
It's just interesting as ZFS is supposedly (and I believe it) THE
filesystem when it comes to combating fragmentation. Maybe reading over
what those guys chat about would be interesting to some folks from this
thread.
In fact, the guys over at Sun are so hot on fighting fragmentation,
they're already looking at some really advanced things like low level
algorithms for deduplication and some other things that scare me and
make me want to take a hot shower :P
Happy holidays
Matt
