Frankly, it may be a couple of years before Oracle even decides what it will do with ZFS in the long run. I have not started using it to any substantial degree and, considering the change in ownership, I'm unlikely to start using it if I do not have an immediate, specific use-case that calls for the capabilities of ZFS in particular. =2E . . on top of which, I don't feel a need to do Oracle any favors. Your mileage may vary, of course. --=20 Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] --s2ZSL+KKDSLx8OML Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkzUd0QACgkQ9mn/Pj01uKUAhQCeIya/rpAyTyMEUf9sgqKO5n7h ErwAoMm13z0pf+qwTBCs0mJatbdqbzhd =SiWW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --s2ZSL+KKDSLx8OML--
