Dear all,

It may be tempting to try AuroraUX because of the involvement of
Ada. However, I have noted that it uses the ZFS filesystem format,
which unless ZFS was improved recently, is a bad filesystem
format. (ZFS was supposed to be better than UFS, which I have heard is
also supposed to be bad.)

Before the AuroraUX OpenSolaris distribution became available, I tried
many OpenSolaris distributions. Initially some seemed to exhibit
potential for being good, but a ZFS problem eventually manifested
itself and as a result of this I do not plan to risk my time on
OpenSolaris (whether as AuroraUX or not) in the near future.

You can read more details in my post "Re: ZFS pool question" in the
newsgroups comp.unix.solaris and alt.solaris.x86 from December 2008.

Yours faithfully,
C. P. G.
