It wasn't the really a problem with the OS itself but with the userland which really sucked rocks at the time. We are talking SunOS 5.8 here. I am guessing that in the future, ZFS will be far more important and UFS will become more and more exotic. Then it would be fine to config everything the ZFS-way. But currently, it seems pretty dumb to have to go through a case list like: case fs == ZFS then /etc/zfs/exports fs == $EXOTIC_OTHER_FS then goto whereever else goto /etc/exports Couldn't help myself with the gotos there. :-D On the other hand, if you can configure the same thing in a number of files, chaos is predestined. That is one machine I would not want to take care of. Regards, Christian
