If the file system had features that can be tweaked for files, then those features should be exposed via an GUI; for example, if ZFS can 'compress' a file, then why not make it an option in the 'about this file' dialogue? or am have I crossed that sacred boundary of UNIX elitism to promoting the idea making a SUN product usable to the mere mortal? > If you mean you'd like a ZFS GUI admin tool, then by all means write one > (in whatever 'non-crappy' language you like), but that's not what I'd call > 'integration'. Isn't that SUN's job of writing software for their operating system - or have I fallen off the Apple bandwagon, and expecting too much from a software/hardware vendor?
