[dba-Tech] OpenSolaris, ZFS

I have not personally done anything with the product but I do know of a
government office that used it exclusively as their desktop and ran their
ArcInfo (terrestrial CAD/Database application) on it for years. They may be
still using it now.

My friend said that the platform was very stable but I understand that
Oracle may not be supporting the product in the same way SUN was. Whether
this means they will be moving it into the fold and charging for it or
selling it in conjunction with some of their other products or separating
themselves for the product and allowing it to go the free-lance Open Source
route, I do not know.

Hi all

Are any of you running OpenSolaris and the file system ZFS?

I'm testing this on an old machine and everything seems fine but I wonder if
anyone has experience - good or bad - with this combo?
