Normally I'd let this go but I'm in one of those moods. ;)
Umm.. no. XFS being developed by SGI and all (ya know, IRIX...) doesn't
make it a really good idea to give it to a competitor.
You'll have to pony up some serious bucks for Veritas if you want a decent
filesystem and tools for Solaris.
Having recently (and reluctantly) renewed a Veritas contract at work for
our Sun boxes I can't say how much of a godsend XFS on Linux has been for
us. I'm moving as much of it onto Linux with XFS as I can, which will get
us down from 12 Solaris machines to just three.
And those three support payments for Veritas will still be like $6000, and
that's just the volume manager, not VxFS. Yikes.
