Snapshots only solve half of the problem as they don't allow a mirror to be broken up and each part being treated independently. For anything else you are of course right >Keep in mind that ZFS on-disk format could possible still change from >version to version (or maybe it's frozen right now after it went >public - ???). That's my hope too. Of course we won't move all our mail spool and home directories to ZFS as long as no official statement from Sun ensuring that the format is frozen Thomas ----------------------------------------------------------------- GPG fingerprint: B1 EE D2 39 2C 82 26 DA A5 4D E0 50 35 75 9E ED _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
