There is a subtle but important difference between the words "review" and "preview" ;)

When I get some time I'll REview some of the features listed in detail. For now, I just wanted to make people aware that these existed (features that I think are pretty unique when considering all OSes) and provide jump-off points for people to gain more info and perhaps try them out.

solaris has been making headlines ..i guess i will try it again someday ..i just havent seen a reason so far ..

people who use and like solaris should make an effort to put it on people's faces, make people talk about it or atleast be aware its there Thu, 17 Jul 2008 04:38:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (mtzmtulivu) Comments ZFS Internals http://osnews.com/thread?323318 http://osnews.com/thread?323318 Not bad intro to OpenSolaris storage capabilities but I find this one a lot more comprehensive:

The article here is an overview of storage technologies in OpenSolaris. The article in your link is a overview of ZFS internals. Quite different goals. If you want more info and indepth coverage of each of the technologies mentioned, go to the OpenSolaris.org links sprinkled all over the article in relevant places. I think that was the purpose of the author doing the preview.Edited 2008-07-17 06:55 UTC Thu, 17 Jul 2008 06:54:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Arun) Comments Spamprotected http://osnews.com/thread?323361 http://osnews.com/thread?323361 Try to post a comment on elektronkind.org/2008/07/opensolaris-2008-11-storage.
