In the last 4 years of using SAM-FS/QFS I have fallen in love with this product. I have tried earlier to ask Sun to incorporate features into this product but in vain. Do you think the following is worth exploring and in-corporating: 1. Unlike ZFS SAM-FS/QFS File system need "compression" feature turned on with ''setfa''. I understand that''s a whole lot of coding and testing. I can offer some help in testing as me not being a C/C++ programmer. 2. SAM-FS Remote does not work on NAT Addressing scheme. 3. Options to Installl SAM-FS HA in PrimeCluster (FUJITSU) environment. The sun cluster DID deives has caused heartburns many a times in spite of setting the raw devices for SAM-FS/QFS as ''localonly''. 4. SAM-FS/QFS does not work in Zones/Containers. How to do this? Please let me know how I can contribute to this project. Thanks, Mohan -- This messages posted from opensolaris.org

How to do this?We are trying to clean up our packaging so we install cleanly and sensibly in a zone environment, as well as dealing with some issues related to using Shared QFS with zones. With any luck we''ll get an okay to release our code sometime in this century, and then you can submit fixes for those things which bother you the most. :) We have our project page up at http://opensolaris.org/os/project/samqfs/ and a mailing list at sam-qfs-discuss at opensolaris.org (cc''d here).
