I guss it's the "E" that you don't like, right?. Well, it could mean a lot of other things. There are plenty of cool buzzwords starting with e. ;-) For example, actually it could mean "exabyte", because you're going to have 64 bit files, and 2^64 happens to be sixteen exabyte (1 EB is 2^60 bytes). Or "high-avilability, multi-master-enabled, replicated file system". Simple. And finally: If you like that name, does it _have_ to have a good expansion? From a marketing and publicity point of view, the name is everything. Nobody will remember the expansion of the acronym anyway. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.
