Matt, I'm interested in quizzing you further on this so will ask the |
| 12 |
main question here. But, if you don't mind I'd like to talk to you |
| 13 |
off list at more length. Maybe a few pointer getting Opensolaris |
| 14 |
setup with the ZFS or the like. |

Are you backing up any windows boxes onto the ZFS? Is it just a matter |
| 17 |
of making it available by way of samba/cifs? |

Your list email address looks like it might be a phony (I didn't try |
| 20 |
it) but mine isn't so if you don't mind the personal contact please |
| 21 |
let me know and I'll write direct. |
