The people I deal with at least know the buzzword and they want to make sure that whatever solution they go with will have it. This is getting off topic. What features would you like to see in a new file system. Some suggestions were made. Would you like to add anything to this list? -Don To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-fs" in the body of the message
