ZFS is build pretty robust, but still requires users to do some carefully planning. Compiling ON is certainly some interesting stuff, I wouldn't say it's something for day-to-day business unless you are a Solaris developer. Anyway, I doubt that doing a simple build will bring SunOS to a point where you need to reboot. Doing a BFU, will certainly force you to this point, but this is again something that isn't meant to be done in a production environment. >> Virtual consoles? At first I lacked them, too.

If you haven't used ALOM yet, you should really try it out. Remote reboot, power-on/off, self-test, etc... _______________________________________________ MPlayer-users mailing list MPlayer-users@xxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mplayerhq.hu/mailman/listinfo/mplayer-users
