And this continues to miss the point. This is what is so frustrating to me (going back years...) Techies like you guys make a decision based on the technical merits, but 95% of the manager/sysadmin types are going to look at the learning curve (and don't bother telling me it doesn't exist or is trivial - maybe in your book, not in theirs), and ask "why on earth do we want to do X when our admins will have to learn all kinds of new crap???" FWIW, if zfsguru was more stable and didn't have a single dev, I would have switched to it in a heartbeat. I know my way around most linuxes (and even freebsd) in my sleep, but honestly, it's beyond frustrating to find out that there is no obvious way to do the /etc/rc.local thing I kvetched about earlier (or an alternative, to put an entry in the crontab with '@reboot', oh wait, the opensolaris cron doesn't support that feature...) And yes, I know none of these things are killers in themselves, it's the death of a thousand cuts. Folks, I *want* opensolaris in some flavor to prosper, but when I hear evangelists complaining about "why should we make this MORE like linux, etc..." The answer "SO PEOPLE WILL USE IT?!" Sorry, I'm tired and out of sorts, and I saw freebsd lose this battle to linux years ago with the same short-sighted attitude and now it's happening again with OS (btw, does anyone have a comment about nexenta providing debian userland tools like apt?)
