Now that OpenSolaris is dead we don't have to be so strict with keeping the diff against vendor small at all cost. I'd prefer not to modify vendor code whenever possible so it is easier for us to cooperate with IllumOS (we already took ome code from them). Me and my company are also interested in fault management daemon (although not restricted to ZFS, but a more general purpose mechanism like FMA in Solaris). My question would be are there any chances you may be convinced to use plain C? With C we might be able to help, but not with C++. --=20 Pawel Jakub Dawidek http://www.wheelsystems.com pjd@FreeBSD.org http://www.FreeBSD.org FreeBSD committer Am I Evil?
