I'm kind of disappointed with how little functionality they really provide, especially with the snapshots. No cloning, no mountable snaps, and they do copy-on-write (which I think I mentioned before). They also don't have any locking capability for compliance, which I think they're going to need to really be an enterprise player in regulated industries like pharma (current $WORK). -Adam _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
