... > But I do believe that some of the "hype" is justified Just to make it clear, so do I: it's the *unjustified* hype that I've objected to (as my comments on the Yager article should have made clear). I believe that ZFS will, for at least some installations and workloads and when it has achieved the requisite level of reliability (both actual and perceived), allow some people to replace the kind of expensive equipment that you describe with commodity gear - and make managing the installation easier in the process. That, in my opinion, is its greatest strength; almost everything else is by comparison down in the noise level. However, ZFS is not the *only* open-source approach which may allow that to happen, so the real question becomes just how it compares with equally inexpensive current and potential alternatives (and that would make for an interesting discussion that I'm not sure I have time to initiate tonight). - bill This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
