You got it: it's got all of the problems that
I have with OpenFiler but worse (no recent releases, uncertain future),
and add to it the need to port everything over to it (Solaris != Linux).
And while the tech of ZFS et. al. may be amazing,
I do not overly need it with this solution. I need a way to access
lots of raw space remotely. That's about it. (OK, block-level
dedupe would be really nice. But not enough.)

.
And given Oracle's current stance in the computer
industry ("It's my ball and I'm taking it home!"), I'm not holding
my breath. Any community using OpenSolaris code will be completely
on its own, and will diverge from Solaris no matter what.
