I was under the impression that the IBM design predated Veritas', though
I could be mistaken. Design for IBM's volume manager began in 1987 and
was first introduced with AIX 3.1 on the RS6K (1990, I believe).
Also, if my memory serves me, the OSF implemented a volume manager
similar to the one in AIX. They were originally intending to use IBM's
but decided to re-implement it (they were disastified with the IBM
implementation, but I never knew for certain the details).
