How much you believe that cancel xVM as FOSS is cancel xVM for enterprise ?

There are clear advantages to using Solaris + ZFS + COMSTAR + Crossbow + everything else! It would really help Oracle to differentiate itself from Citrix, Red Hat, and Novell in the Xen space. However, I do wonder if it's possible to elevate VirtualBox to a type 1 hypervisor ontop of Solaris. That might be even more interesting. Otherwise, I'm still happy that LDoms, now Oracle VM Server for SPARC, is still around and an integral part of all future SPARC products.Definitely a better architecture than Xen if you ask me. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Octave J.

I lack the skill to make it happen, but if someone with the skill is passing the hat I'd donate some money to the cause. Local disk, for most things, really is better than network disk, and linux/NetBSD lack a suitable scheme for managing partitions and snapshots. Right now I'm using Linux/LVM and the snapshot capabilities may as well be non-existant due to the performance penalties. also, the ability to use a SSD zil would go a long ways to making my sata disks perform acceptably. -- Luke S.
