Michael - that's a good start!

Such as good start, that I'd like to  suggest the 'un-blog-like' course 
of correcting the original, at least 'for a while yet' rather than 
blogging-on the errata at the tail.

I don't think your ZFS assessment is 100% accurate, so a bit of clean-up 
there could reduce flame-bait.

That may earn further alteration if/as/when Sun integrate 'lustre' 
features. At present, HAMMMERfs and ZFS have only partial overlap in 
their Venn diagrams.

But I encourage you to keep updating and tracking the changes.

Maybe it should open with a date-stamped 'current state of ...'?

Thanks!

Bill
