From: asami@FreeBSD.ORG (Satoshi Asami) Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG * Not really. There is life in operating systems (Unix in particular - * FreeBSd included) beyond filesystems. Raw devices are being used, heavily * for many things, including most commercial RDBMS. * * Also, filesystems are on the horizon (AFA FreeBSD is concerned) that can * grow and for these one needs a storage medium that can grow. * * I do not find extendible storage all that useful, but i do not routinely * maintain large servers that run out of space in the middle of everything * either. Of course, that's a right answer. If you said that as a disclaimer to your initial reply, I wouldn't have complained. ;) Satoshi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
