Probably, we need place a tag before zfs -- Opensource-ZFS or Oracle-ZFS after
Solaris11 release.
If it is true, these two ZFSes will definitely evolve into different directions.
BTW, Did Oracle unveil the actual release date? We are also at the cross

My comment had nothing to do w/ firefox. I moved to using a separate machine
for internet access because of firefox, but the privilege escalation issue
applies generally. This is the reason for typing "/bin/su" rather than "su".
sudo was designed to address the lack of RBAC authority in Unix
Hi all
I'm fighting a problem with an OpenIndiana 148 server and NFS3 mounts from
Linux clients. A simple cron job is run that moves some data files from another
server to the OI box. This runs well for a while, until at some point, the
client hangs and reports NFS server connection failure. Th
I haven't been at the command line of any of my oi systems for the while, but I
thought sudo had been effectively replaced with pfexec. At least in opensolaris
before it was killed. Thought pfexec was in oi too.
