*Start* paying? You clearly have NO idea what it costs to run Solaris in a production environment with support. For what we pay it seems like they should send us a Solaris developer to sit at our company full-time and bring us coffee when he isn't making custom changes for us. And he could have a secretary. > "The problem is, what you're saying amounts to: I want Oracle to port ZFS to > linux because I don't want to pay for it.

If Oracle released "ZFS for Linux" as a product and charged money for it, I'd be very willing to consider it - if it were reasonably priced. Which it wouldn't be, it would likely cost $8,735 - per processor! ---------- Learn more about Merchant Link at www.merchantlink.com. THIS MESSAGE IS CONFIDENTIAL.
