[ Hi Wes from [EMAIL PROTECTED] ]
And the smart-ask answer is:
By Definition: the OpenSolaris/Solaris Express feature that is *your*
"must-have" feature, probably won't be in Update 3! :)
Since U3 is a "cherry picked" subset of OpenSolaris, it's difficult to
predict which features made it and which did not. I know that it's a Sun
decision made from a basis of (Sun) solid logic - it's just difficult to
figure out this mental process, from the outside looking in.
In my case, the ability to clone a zone from a zfs snapshot did'nt make
it! :(
I don't think that there are any ZFS NFS related fixes that did'nt make it
into U3 (others will correct me if I'm wrong here). It's a tough choice
to make... The huge upside is ... that there is a choice! :)
