I spent an hour on the phone with SGI's lead FS scientist Dan Koren discussing the XFS situation, Margot Seltzer's LFS work, ships, sails, sealing wax... The code is not yet open. It is being "disencumbered" and retrofitted to the Linux kernel interfaces by a team of contractors and university people all under NDA. So we're on hold for the time being. Unless you want to sign an NDA and move to Iowa for a year or so. We BSDies really are going to have to come up with something in the way of a modern storage subsystem. > -----Original Message----- > From: Andrzej Bialecki [SMTP:abial@webgiro.com] > Sent: Saturday, October 30, 1999 10:56 AM > To: Alton, Matthew > Subject: Re: BSD XFS Port & BSD VFS Rewrite > > On Thu, 5 Aug 1999, Alton, Matthew wrote: > > > I am currently conducting a thorough study of the VFS subsystem > > in preparation for an all-out effort to port SGI's XFS filesystem to > > FreeBSD 4.x at such time as SGI gives up the code.
