It is possible that some grad student did a presentation without a demo, but they weren't involved with the development or implementation of Viva. > > Are you talking about VIFS or VXFS?

Ok, but we never released *any* results from our UFS implementation. I determined that 1) I couldn't release the code, and 2) UFS on SysV was crippled and didn't make a good comparison. We dropped it totally at that point and I picked up a source copy of BSDI. Eric
