This has me wondering again. There's always been a gray area related to using modules with different licenses than the Linux kernel. I imagine at some point some "third party" will produce a kernel module only version of ZFS for Linux. Obviously, it won't be available for inclusion in the kernel itself but they may produce something that stays in sync with the latest kernel releases. Heck, I'd be inclined to try it myself, if I had the time an energy. >From all reports I've seen, ZFS Rocks! I'd love to be able to have it available for Linux. Hm. I may just have to d/l the Solaris source and take a look... :-) -Jon -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
