I wished Sun would open-source QFS too, but that was from the experience of it being slow, buggy, and unreliable, and wanting to see that fixed (and it made cross-platform to allow massively shared filesystems in the HPC space). I even wrote Jonathan suggesting this. See how much influence I have... The reason we used QFS was because we needed functional multiterabyte filesystems years ago, before UFS got extended (in a way we wouldn't have been able to use) and before we had even heard of ZFS. If the organization were still operating, and the system still running, we would be running ZFS on it by now. There's still an opening in the shared filesystem space (multi-reader and multi-writer). Fix QFS, or extend ZFS? -- -Peter Tribble L.I.S., University of Hertfordshire - http://www.herts.ac.uk/ http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
