It will be a long time before 128 bits is not enough. I think one of the folks involved in Solaris zfs (not to be confused with OMVS zFS) calculated that the entropy generated by a full 128-bit address space would result in enough heat to boil all the oceans on earth. So I believe 128 bits is enough for a long time. -- Curtis Pew ([email protected]) ITS Systems Core The University of Texas at Austin ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
