Flip side is that if Oracle convinces enough people that ZFS is a shrinking
market (how long do you think the BSDs will support a proprietary
filesystem?) then there will be a lot more interest in the BTRFS project,
much of it from the same folks who have experience producing
enterprise-grade ZFS. Speaking for myself, if Solaris 11 doesn't include
COMSTAR I'm going to have to take a serious look at another alternative for
our show storage towers....
