Or until Oracle releases ZFS under GPL, or a compatible license, which probably isn't going to happen. Apparently Oracle believes their SPARC and x86 hardware won't sell if ZFS is free on Linux. Now that Oracle owns Solaris and ZFS I'd bet they wish they could put the BTRFS genie back in the bottle, as well as OCFS, etc. -- Stan _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
