If not is it likely to > migrate from BSDI? We have most of the support already, yes. I have no idea what the likelihood is of seeing a shareable filesystem in the short term.

As a general rule, our hardware footprint is comparable or better there. -- \\ Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. \\ Mike Smith \\ Tell him he should learn how to fish himself, \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ and he'll hate you for a lifetime. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
