I think squashfs would be very cool to have on Solaris - if I recall correctly it provides a "better" compressed filesystem for CDs etc. A FUSE port might be a good way to prototype - you could re-use the linux code without licensing fears. One of the cool things about FUSE is that (generally) the filesystems themselves relatively simple to port to other FUSE platforms, so if you ported squashfs to FUSE you'd get a FreeBSD port for free! -Mark _______________________________________________ storage-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/storage-discuss
