Thats odd. Ask them to look at the (internal) patches page for the product where the details of patch releases for each OS release is detailed as well as any firmware updates with schedules. I would post the URL here, but that would confuse some poor site out in Internetland with a bunch of 404s. > On the up side, it's fixed in OpenSolaris, and you can probably get an > IDR if you have a support contract and scream loudly enough. > > IDRs are a funny beast. They might seem like patches to you or me, but their lifecycle may lead to changes in another patch and then they die. After they die, then we really want to kill them in the wild. This is why you might have to scream loudly. When the patches are available, the SunAlerts and product patch site will also be updated. -- richard _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
