Actually, it's central to the issue: if you were capable of understanding what I've been talking about (or at least sufficiently humble to recognize the depths of your ignorance), you'd stop polluting this forum with posts lacking any technical content whatsoever. Rather than answer a question, > which couldn't be answered, The question that was asked was answered - it's hardly my problem if you could not competently parse the question, or the answer, or the subsequent explanation (though your continuing drivel after those three strikes suggests that you may simply be ineducable). because you were full of > it, you tried to convince us all he really didn't > know what he wanted. No: I answered his question and *also* observed that he probably really didn't know what he wanted (at least insofar as being able to *justify* the intensity of his desire for it). ... > There aren't free alternatives in linux or freebsd > that do what zfs does, period. No one said that there were: the real issue is that there's not much reason to care, since the available solutions don't need to be *identical* to offer *comparable* value (i.e., they each have different strengths and weaknesses and the net result yields no clear winner - much as some of you would like to believe otherwise).

This place is fanboy heaven, where never is heard a discouraging word (and you're hip-deep in buffalo sh!t). Hell, I came here myself 18 months ago because ZFS seemed interesting, but found out that the closer I looked, the less interesting it got. Perhaps it's not surprising that so many of you never took that second step: it does require actual technical insight, which seems to be in extremely short supply here. So short that it's not worth spending time here from any technical standpoint: at this point I'm mostly here for the entertainment, and even that is starting to get a little tedious. - bill This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
