Eh! So they've managed to backport the stuff NetApp has been doing

tell you the filer is very much like using FreeBSD and I think it is

Similar results, different approach. NetApp's filesystem snapshots are
more like the ZFS readonly snapshots rather than the ZFS read/write
clones that can be interchangeably swapped to replace the OS's idea of
the "primary" filesystem.

I wish Sun's ZFS were license compatible with Linux. It's been a while
since choice of filesystem could make such a difference in
possibilities.
