From: mika ruohotie <bsdhack@shadows.aeon.net> Date: Thu, 17 Apr 1997 12:52:46 +0300 (EET DST) yeah, if it'd be possible to get xfs to freebsd, i'd die happily... but, question is, is it? i can not help my knowledge into that project, should there ever exist such project, but i'm more than happily offering machine or few as a test platform. XFS is SGI's bread and butter, if you write a freely available version of it you'd: 1) Have to reverse engineer it completely 2) Would have a building full of lawyers on your ass I know because I investigated such a thing ad nauseum while I was hacking Linux at SGI, and that was the final word. ---------------------------------------------//// Yow! 11.26 MB/s remote host TCP bandwidth & //// 199 usec remote TCP latency over 100Mb/s //// ethernet.
