I agree that hiding bugs is quite bad. <rant> I'm going to be an open source curmudgeon for a minute and say that if Sun/CFS wants to track customer-specific, sensitive data bugs, they need to have a separate system and pay someone to make sure that all internal bugs are santized and put into the open source project bug tracker.
Sun/CFS gets a huge mindshare and market acceptance benefit from the open source project. Hiding bugs WILL kill that mindshare and acceptance benefit. If Lustre isn't a full first class public open source project, all the new and really innovative work will get done on competing open source filesystems. </rant> Now back to real work ;) On Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 04:40:54PM +0200, Erich Focht wrote: > Thanks, Brian. > > A more general comment: what is the use of invisible bugs, anyway?
