It will be fairly amusing to see this in a Billions dollar product line like NetApp or Dell EMC Isilon.
I can't find any photos of Rick Macklem's setup but it was developed in a fairly.. steampunk fashion.. on several obsolete i386 laptops with <4GB RAM.
- parvenu74 8y agoWhy the hate? Just because FreeBSD supports the idea of making a commercial product from the code isn't a reason bag on Rick.
- ComputerGuru 8y agoI didn’t detect any hint of hate in the OP’s comment, more appreciation and irony.
- pinewurst 8y agoI believe NetApp has had shipping pNFS support in ONTAP for quite some time now. I don’t know how many active users though.
- loeg 8y agoIsilon hasn't used the FreeBSD nfsd since 2014 (OneFS 7.2). (And prior to that, it was a heavily modified version.)
- jim00338811 8y agoPanasas, who open sources pNFS, is a serious scale company competitive with Isilon and NetApp https://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2135264,00.asp https://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2135264,00.asp https://www.panasas.com/ https://www.panasas.com/
- GalacticDomin8r 8y agoSince Panasas contributes a fair amount to FreeBSD, perhaps they are happy as well. eg https://people.freebsd.org/~rpokala/2017-03-24.nvdimm.txt https://people.freebsd.org/~rpokala/2017-03-24.nvdimm.txt
