Hmmm, no, I think we've been rejecting the idea of stacking filesystems because there are lots and lots of gotchas in stackable filesystems. So if we have "views" then ZFS should implement them natively. But lofs should probably get this feature also, if it really is useful. I'm not entirely sure why views are necessary. Use cases? And what's wrong with find(1)? :-) :-) Nico -- _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
