The drives that Sun sells will come with the correct bracket. Ergo, there is no reason to sell the bracket as a separate item unless the customer wishes to place non-Sun disks in them. That represents a service liability for Sun, so they are not inclined to do so. It is really basic business. -- richard _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
