Thank you very much - now that there are a couple of major steps feature-wise we're going to give the experimental version a try. > This patchset is also a message we, as the FreeBSD project, would like > to send to our users: Eventhough OpenSolaris is dead, the ZFS file > system is going to stay in FreeBSD.

FYI: http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/ZFS-as-a-Linux-kernel-module-1069056.html Too bad FreeBSD still lacks Infiniband support. Currently we use ZFS on FreeBSD and Infiniband on Linux. If Linux supports both, we will (be forced to) switch. Cheers, vt -- Volker T. Mueller Continum AG Bismarckallee 7d 79098 Freiburg i. Br.
