As Bdale commented on the LWN article: http://lwn.net/Articles/287108/ # While it would be fine with HP if someone wants to "port" AdvFS to Linux # or any other operating system with a GPLv2 compatible license, this # contribution is not intended to "compete" with other existing file system # projects underway in and around the kernel.org development community. # # Rather, our hope is that the algorithms, design documentation, and test # suite now available at the AdvFS site... and the active participation of # HP engineers in various open-source file system projects who have lots of # AdvFS experience... will help to accelerate the inclusion of AdvFS-like # enterprise features and capabilities in next-generation file systems for # Linux. NB: Asides from briefly using AdvFS under OSF/1 back in the mid-90's I've no other link to it or HP. -- Chris Samuel : http://www.csamuel.org/ : Melbourne, VIC This email may come with a PGP signature as a file.
