    Just a quickie summary of Veritas:

    In short, Veritas is a very commonly-used filesystem in the workplace - there's not many Solaris sysadmins that haven't heard of it. It is mainly used for high performance filesystems - raid0, raid5... the big boys.

    Since samba is supported by these guys now, it's a given that very high performance samba servers are going to enter the marketplace soon. What does this mean for Microsoft? Bad news. You can now replace your 50+ NT servers with a single solaris box.. and get better performance to boot. Stability, speed, reliability... everything a unix wookie needs in his holy war against the evil empire.
