TedThank you for the information! This means that a normal Solaris user will not be confused but a user that did install /opt/SUNWsamfs may be confused if a SAMfs program named "star" will not be called via a full PATH name. Note: star exists since 1982 and uses the name "star" since 1985. Star is the oldest free "tar" implementation.
All that said, why not use the "ZFS style" for SAM-related admin commands, i.e. have a utility "sam" as universal knob for everything SAM-related ?
Not taking sides here - merely thinking about a product that I don't know how to use, that is SAM/QFS, and a paradigm "zfs ..." that I've seen before, and think "nice".
I start to see the reason for /usr/xpg4/bin now ... FrankH. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
