The difference between multi-user thinking and single-user thinking is really quite dramatic in this area. I came up the time-sharing side (PDP-8, PDP-11, DECSYSTEM-20); TOPS-20 didn't have any sort of disk defragmenter, and nobody thought one was particularly desirable, because the normal access

Cool, we can get the Intel X25-E's for around $300 a piece from HP with the sled. I don't see the X25-M available so we will look at 4 of the X25-E's. Thanks :) -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@openso
