If you would integrate it into Open Solaris then every time anyone change something he/she has to make sure nothing else breaks. Now when it comes to CAS - I belive that instead being block based it would be much better to actually be file lever aware and then to understand (plugins?) different file formats - that way I belive you could achieve much better efficiency. -- Best regards, Robert mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://milek.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
