Posting in the iscsi subforum only leads me to believe that when requestion information about VSS i want information about vss hardware providers, not samba requesters. And my main problem is not with failover (yes i'd very much like to have it), but placing estimated timeframes in relation to other subprojects.

I only asked if, in all fairness, whether your timeframe of Q1 for VSS implementation was reasonable. I only compared it to failover, because it this feature is already postponed a couple of times.
