Not at all. OpenSolaris 2008.05 is aimed at the developer/laptop (almost consumer) market, and that uses ZFS. And my experience in that area is that ZFS struggles on the sorts of relatively less well configured machines that are commonly used. (And there you tend to fit the OS onto existing hardware, rather than servers where you are more likely to buy to fit a workload.) -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
