But thats living in > lala land. This is my list as well. Threads (and with it a threaded tcp stack), smoother SMP (coming), nfs (as you said well on its way) and a bsd compiler. The only thing I would add to this is a more fully featured vinum (Look vinum rocks. There is no question about that. There are just a few more features that would be nice to have and those are already listed on the vinum web pages), and a robust, BSD licensed, extensible ha solution. -don To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-fs" in the body of the message
