I have a coworker, who's primary expertise is in another flavor of Unix.

This coworker lists floating point operations as one of ZFS detriments.

I's not really sure what he means specifically, or where he got this
reference from.

In an effort to refute what I believe is an error or misunderstanding on
his part, I have spent time on Yahoo, Google, the ZFS section of
OpenSolaris.org, etc.  I really haven't turned up much of anything that
would prove or disprove his comments.  The one thing I haven't done is
to go through the ZFS source code, but its been years since I have done
any serious programming.

If someone from Oracle, or anyone on this mailing list could point me
towards any documentation, or give me a definitive word, I would sure
appreciate it.  If there were floating point operations going on within
ZFS, at this point I am uncertain as to what they would be.

TIA for any comments,

Jerry
