And you're correct that IBM didn't *buy* the > implementation from Veritas. It's quite similar in idea, though. I was under the impression that the IBM design predated Veritas', though I could be mistaken. Design for IBM's volume manager began in 1987 and was first introduced with AIX 3.1 on the RS6K (1990, I believe). Also, if my memory serves me, the OSF implemented a volume manager similar to the one in AIX. They were originally intending to use IBM's but decided to re-implement it (they were disastified with the IBM implementation, but I never knew for certain the details).
