[Note: none of this is proprietary Oracle knowledge, and I do not speak as an Oracle representative in any way] The Fishworks stuff runs on a version of Solaris 11 - it's not some forked Solaris branch. So, when Solaris 11 finally ships, you can expect that the latest Solaris 11 Update + CRU (patches) should always be able to fully utilize any Fishworks-written volume. As pointed out above by others, however, I would never count on a Fishworks volume (particularly one which used the latest-available Fishworks software update) being able to be read on *anything* other than Solaris 11. As S11 advances, Fishworks gets updated too, so the ZFS/zpool version number advances. Solaris 11 is due out RSN, which means probably sometime before the end of the calendar year. But who knows, and Oracle hasn't officially announced a launch date for S11. -- Erik Trimble Java System Support Mailstop: usca22-317 Phone: x67195 Santa Clara, CA Timezone: US/Pacific (GMT-0800) _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
