Just because Not so clear, if you are using a mixture of filesystems you may very sensibly opt to keep all your export controls in one place, similarly if you have servers running multiple OSs then not having to remember that the FreeBSD/ZFS box manages it's exports differently to the Linux/ext2fs may well be a benefit. You may have management tools and not wish to extend them to handle ZFS explicitly. There can be good reasons both ways. -- Steve O'Hara-Smith | Directable Mirror Arrays C:>WIN | A better way to focus the sun The computer obeys and wins. | licences available see You lose and Bill collects. | http://www.sohara.org/
