Curtis, I hope your wrong in thinking that Cristoph Hellwig could be a source of contamination. He is core kernel developer and IIRC in Linus's inner circle of trusted developers. He and Alan Cox did the GFS to OpenGFS evaluation and setup 2 years ago. I think he consulted with IBM on the JFS port and he is currently employed by SGI supporting XFS. On the XFS port, I think it was Cristoph that did the major job of making XFS acceptable to Linus, and thus got it into the vanilla 2.5.x kernel. If all of his contributions had to backed out of the Linux kernel, I suspect it would be a major blow. Greg -- Greg Freemyer
