It probably won't be ported to Linux but rather used as a mine of knowledge for file system developers. This was also the intention of HP when releasing AdvFS as open source. So you're much more likely to see details of AdvFS in future file systems like betrfs.

You are probably correct, but there are a lot of guys who used to
work at Spitbrook Rd. who are very active in Linux. While HP is not
going to port it directly, some of the old AdvFs guys might. (I
suffered through some of the early days of AdvFS :-)

Yep, it's still a great FS, there was an online petition to release the code of TruCluster, but Advfs alone is better than nothing... Ciro -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
