The page you linked to does not actually state that. There are plenty of hints and sideways references but little concrete information about what is safe with the current release - hence my question. > If you really do want to put them up a COW filesystem, you should try > ZFS on Linux instead, otherwise go with XFS or ext4 - in that kind of > order. They are already on ZFS but I am investigating btrfs as an alternative to ZFS. ZFS and ext4 would mean losing the volume management that ZFS and btrfs offer, not to mention forcing a repartition. -- Neil Bothwick Do you steal taglines too?
