It has been a solid performer: I've been using
2.3 for quite a while now. But there are a *lot* of questions moving
forward: enough that I don't want to base a new solution on top of
it.
Both the top-level project (OpenFiler) and the framework
it's built on (rPath) are having visible problems.

I'm a *huge* fan of VM, but there are times where
you don't want the complexity, and get near-zero benefit from it. This
is one of them. Think "appliance", not "server".
This is a device for managing lots of *storage*. ESXi makes
that much harder, not easier.
