[zfs-discuss] [developer] current status of SAM-QFS?
5.3 is released, not much of an idea about the 5.4 schedule.

You won''t get SAM-QFS or Oracle roadmap answers from this alias. -- Darren J Moffat

I believe that I have seen SAMFS/QFS folks from Oracle answer questions there. If Oracle is only willing to share (public) information about the roadmap for products via official sales channels then there will be lots of FUD in the market. Now, as to sharing futures and NDA material, that _should_ only be available via direct Oracle channels (as it was under Sun as well). -- {--------1---------2---------3---------4---------5---------6---------7---------} Paul Kraus -> Senior Systems Architect, Garnet River ( http://www.garnetriver.com/ ) -> Assistant Technical Director, LoneStarCon 3 (http://lonestarcon3.org/) -> Sound Coordinator, Schenectady Light Opera Company ( http://www.sloctheater.org/ ) -> Technical Advisor, Troy Civic Theatre Company -> Technical Advisor, RPI Players

A better question for your Oracle rep is whether there is a plan to anything other than sustaining engineering for the product. -- richard -- ZFS Performance and Training Richard.Elling at RichardElling.com +1-760-896-4422 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

If you saw some feature pushed to some gate you had no guarantee that it would remain there or be supported, but you had a pretty good inkling as to whether the engineers working on it intended it to remain there. If you can''t get something out of your rep, you might try reading the tea leaves (sketchy business). But ultimately you need to be prepared for any product''s EOL. You can expect some amount of warning time about EOLs, but legacy has a way of sticking around, so write plan for how to migrate data and where to, then put the plan in a drawer somewhere (and update it as necessary).
