Solaris Express is here, but still no Solaris 11. Any > news on that ? Even Solaris 10_u10 got retracted from the Oracle download site. No one knows anything (or will say anything) until there is an official statement from Oracle. It seems likely that Solaris 10_u10 and Solaris 11 will be released with some fanfare in conjunction with new Oracle hardware products (e.g. based on the SPARC T4 CPU). The Oracle "memo" was a leaked internal memo. Oracle has never clarified its intentions regarding OpenSolaris source code releases. We can only hope that Oracle does the right thing and at least releases zfs source code updates in order to avoid fragmentation of the filesystem format.
