Actually ZFS doesn't do NFS/CIFS/iSCSI those shareX options merely execute scripts to perform the OS operations as appropriate. BTRFS also handles the "RAID" of the hard disks as ZFS does. No, the only real issue is the license and I highly doubt Oracle will re-release ZFS under GPL to dilute it's competitive advantage. I think the market NEEDs file system competition in order to drive innovation so it would be beneficial for both FSs to continue together into the future. -Ross _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
