Hello list, We are unfortunately still experiencing some issues regarding our support license with Sun, or rather our Sun Vendor. We need ZFS User quotas. (That''s not the zfs file-system quota) which first appeared in svn_114. We would like to run something like svn_117 (don''t really care which version per-se, that is just the one version we have done the most testing with). But our Vendor will only support Solaris 10. After weeks of wrangling, they have reluctantly agreed to let us run OpenSolaris 2009.06. (Which does not have ZFS User quotas). When I approach Sun-Japan directly I just get told that they don''t speak English. When my Japanese colleagues approach Sun-Japan directly, it is suggested to us that we stay with our current Vendor. * Will there be official Solaris 10, or OpenSolaris releases with ZFS User quotas? (Will 2010.02 contain ZFS User quotas?) * Can we get support overseas perhaps, that will let us run a version of Solaris with ZFS User quotas? Support generally includes having the ability to replace hardware when it dies, and/or, send panic dumps if they happen for future patches. Internally, we are now discussing returning our 12x x4540, and calling NetApp. I would rather not (more work for me). I understand Sun is probably experiencing some internal turmoil at the moment, but it has been rather frustrating for us.

Hi Yes Solaris 10/09 ( update 8 ) will contain 6501037 want user/group quotas on zfs it should be out within a few weeks. So if they have zpools already installed they can apply 141444-09/141445-09 ( 10/09 kernel patch ) and post reboot run zpool upgrade to go to zpool version 15 ( the process is non reversible by the ay ), which contains 6501037. The patches mentioned will be released shortly after 10/09 itself ships ( within a few days of 10/09 shipping ), if applying patches make sure to apply latest rev of 119254/119255 first ( the patch utilities patch ), and read the README as well for any further instructions.

I wonder why I have so much trouble finding information about "future releases" of Solaris.

I can connect you with English speakers here. Contact me off list if you are interested. Also, there are some Japan lists for OpenSolaris you may want to subscribe to: The Japan OpenSolaris User Group and The Tokyo OpenSolaris User Group. The Japan group is mostly Japanese, but we are trying to build an international group in English for the Tokyo OSUG. There are bi-lingual westerners and Japanese on both lists, and we have events in Yoga as well. http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/ug-tsug (English ) http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/ug-jposug (Japanese) Jim -- http://blogs.sun.com/jimgris/
