Has anyone heard anything new on Solaris LAE or ZFS? - Back in the NC05-
Q2 executive chat a couple months ago Sun said LAE would be available as
a technology preview by the end of May but I haven't heard anything yet
but maybe I'm not looking in the right places.

Of course I would also like to start testing ZFS - Both of these
technologies would be interesting to try when they become available
through a Technology Preview.

Thx

I read something about "2006".
Here:

I think 2006 will be a very long year for some of us ;-)

cheers,

What is LAE?

Janus.  The marketing folks do keep busy, you know.

I'm soooo behind the times. Now, what's LAE supposed to mean? Linux
Already Exists? Leverage Another Environment? Lose All Expectations?

BTW, I suspect that Solaris would get certain Linuxish kernel features
which would be accessible for Solaris applications as well. I've already
seen TCP_CORK in one of the "what's new" lists.

So if somebody could put a list in a blog somewhere, I'd be... um...
happy to Love All Enhancements. :-)

I'd guess Linux Application Environment. But who knows, I like yours
about losing expectations better :)

As of June according to Stephen Shankland's reporting, Janus and ZFS
have been delayed until 2006.
<URL:http://news.com.com/2100-7344_3-5748343.html>
| Janus had been expected in 2005, but it was delayed until 2006 along
| with new storage software called ZFS, or Zettabyte File System.

Not yet read if/when they will be released as part of the Software Express
for Solaris EA program.
