Who uses ext3 or ext2 ?

Who will use OHSM as it supports only ext2/3 (as per now) and these FS are
not used much ?


The point behind this is that when we are talking that "Enterprises" will
use OHSM ?

But,

enterprises dont use ext2/3.

They use bigger things like RAID, Cluster FS and others. ( and many of them
are open source also like one from HP ( as we were told))

So what do you say ??

Who will use it ?

Its just a proof of concept so we are using open file systems like ext2/ext3.
We can definitely use RAID and cluster FS or whatever enterprises use.
Moreover we have opened a platform in open source community and this work can be
ported to different file systems. 

And small enterprises will definitely use OHSM, a small desktop publishing companies
wont buy raid for their storage needs, they will probably add few more rotational
disks for extra storage, and OHSM manages them very well.
