This would add compatibility with AIX and OS/2, besides which the fs is rock solid and supposedly (at least) comparable to FFS as far as speed is concerned. If I've understood correctly, the journaling technology is not just for stability, but also serves a function similar to softupdates. Needless to say, I'd be a lot more happy about being able to get hold of some specs than I would about having to grab hold of the Eurora Technology Preview and try to hack the filesystem. Reverse-engineering the code is out of the question. --- Marius Bendiksen ... dead girls don't say no ...
