Bob and Ian are right. I was trying to remember the last time I installed Solaris 10, and the best I can recall, it was around late fall 2007. The fine folks at Oracle have been making improvements to the product since then, even though no new significant features have been added since that time :-( -- richard -- ZFS storage and performance consulting at http://www.RichardElling.com _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
