Every Oracle Storage 7000 system that ships shows that ZFS and DTrace do make a difference. You can't build those without ZFS and DTrace, and without the value their value add, there isn't much to differentiate those systems from others on the market. Sun was pretty good at coming up with new tech, but they never knew how to execute on that tech in a compelling manner for customers. Oracle has been much better at that historically, so I think you can count on the benefits of the tech being communicated more effectively in the future. -- blu It's bad civic hygiene to build technologies that could someday be used to facilitate a police state. - Bruce Schneier -----------------------------------------------------------------------| Brian Utterback - Solaris RPE, Oracle Corporation.
