I’m thinking vs. “crash-consistent.” EqualLogic has since told me that this is true for all vendors at the moment (something to do with pecularities around VSS with CSVs), but that they are working on it….

@Ryan
By “state-consistent” you mean vm/volume state consistency?

The situation is still shrouded in the usual deal secrecy. But I’ve been given to understand that once Sun’s acquisition is resolved the legal aspects of the ZFS licensing could – and I stress could – still be resolved. There is nothing fatal around the technology.

I’d love to hear more about the possible resurrection of the the ZFS Apple/Sun/Oracle debacle. I was really looking forward to ZFS in MacOS.

Anything you can share with us?

Hyper-V storage virtualization=DataCore. At least, that is what I heard.

The Parascale link is still borked. Swedish chef, maybe?

Re: Hyper-V Storage Virtualization–was this by a particular storage vendor (can you say which one if so?), or by Microsoft?

Also, do you know if anyone is supporting state-consistent snapshots for Clustered Shared Volumes for Hyper-V? I’m finding out that this is not (currently?) supported by our vendor (EqualLogic)….

How’d that happen? Fixed, I think.

Most of the links are borked with a stray slash, i.e., http://www./foo.com.
