Yes, I didn't mention Solaris (because I've never looked at it), but being able to easily port file system code from OpenSolaris sounds like it might be a big win. ZFS is an obvious example, but there is also stuff like pNFS in the pipe that would be nice. (I'm going to try and get my nfsv4 code into FreeBSD, but it will only be nfsv4.0 and I have no urge to do 4.1/pNFS.) And others mentioned that there is quite a bit of momentum w.r.t. OpenAFS in Solaris. rick
