Litwin" Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; delsp=yes; charset=utf-8 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Message-ID: User-Agent: Opera Mail/9.20 (Linux) Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Before I go on, let me appologise. I don't really know what I hope to accomplish, beyond trying to garner thoughts (and support?) for the topic. Essentially: I want to use Linux and ZFS. I don't particularly care about licences or any of the rest of that nonsense. The code is there; it merely needs to be made to work with Linux. Done and done -- provided I can find some one to do this for me (I'd do it myself, but I haven't the foggiest notion how to go about such a feat). By the way, forget about this FUSE business. I don't know why they're bothering: It's not real, it's slow and, in general, silly. What are the thoughts of the Linux community? I appologise right now for my intrusion. I am a Linux-nobody; I freely admit it. I haven't even subscribed to this list (so do CC me) because I don't want to be over-whelmed with the list's glorious posts. But, part of Linux is it's being a community. If a member of this community (that is, a user of Linux) can't ask the others their thoughts and opinions, then the community has failed in a large respect. Take this letter as you will. -- —A watched bread-crumb never boils. —My hover-craft is full of eels. —[...]and that's the he and the she of it.
