Hehe. The simplicity is interesting. I'm actually starting to get confused by those two commands, and start to wish it went down to one. > - Boasting to the unconverted.

"Out of inodes". Huh? The very concept is so antiquated. The great success of ZFS, to me, is the fact that it rapidly became essentially invisible. It just does its job and you soon forget that it's there (until you have to deal with one of the alternatives, which throws it into sharp relief). -- -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
