Hi Robert,

re:

Nope.

re:

We don't want to live without a file system that performs as well as
ZFS does under Solaris.  We are hopeful that ZFS will perform as well
under Linux, but we are not seeing that yet.

re:

This is reasonable.  In the past when support has been sunset for other
platforms, it was always at a future date _after_ the community was
informed about the decision arrived at here in Unidata and approved
by our governing committees.

Cheers,

Tom
