Obviously, this thread got sidetracked on a tangent about different types of hardware, be it mac mini, supermicro, dell, or sun/oracle. But I do find the subject of legality of ZFS and the netapp lawsuit(s) to be an interesting subject. (And thanks to whoever pointed out the information of how MS VSS is different and inferior; I didn't know.)
Does anybody still have anything to add about the legality? I think we've concluded: ZFS is pretty darn safe in solaris/opensolaris. For some time to come, Netapp may continue bullying others. There is dispute regarding how much the Netapp lawsuit influenced Apple to abandon ZFS in OSX. ZFS is a selling feature for solaris & sun/oracle hardware. BTRFS may be an alternative someday, but not usable yet. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
