Ok. So according to you, most of what ZFS does is available elsewhere, and the features it has that nothing else has are' really a value add, ar least not enough to produce a 'clear winner'. Ok, assume for a second that I believe that. can you list one other software raid/filesystem that as any feature (small or large) that ZFS lacks?
Because if all else is really equal, and ZFS is the only one with any advantages then, whether those advantages are small or not (and I don't agree with how small you think they are - see my other post that you've ignored so far.) I think there is a 'clear winner' - at least at the moment - Things can change at any time. -Kyle _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
