When I was an IBM employee, they would not change the license, and so it's impossible to ship a CDROM where it's the boot FS, or boxes on which it is the boot FS, and still have it be legal, because of the license conflicts. I fought this for about a year within IBM, before I gave up. > It is used on IBM MainFrames and Enterprise servers > for high performance and maximum throughput... No, it's not. The Linux JFS is derived from the OS/2 JFS code, not the good AIX JFS code. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
