http://advfs.sourceforge.net/ HP open sourced the advfs filesystem from tru64 Unix today under the gplv2. >From the page """ Our objective is to make the code available so that Linux developers can pick and choose pieces that make sense for existing and new linux file systems. Its also a good reference for anyone interested in file systems. However, we discourage Tru64 users from trying to build and use the code as it won't be supported by HP on Tru64. """ Would it make sense to look at using any of the code from this in btrfs, or would it be easier to re-implement it all over again? Even though filesystems ported from other Posix operating systems to Linux (Ever looked at XFS code) can be ugly, this might be a way to accelerate btrfs development. If nothing else, it might be interesting to see how HP solved problems btrfs will soon be solving. -- Jeff Schroeder Don't drink and derive, alcohol and analysis don't mix. http://www.digitalprognosis.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
