From: Alfred Perlstein [mailto:bright@wintelcom.net] >Enable softupdates and blow solaris out of the water on >file/metadata intensive tests. :) With UFS, sure. But, wouldn't you have to compare that with Solaris and the Veritas file system to be fair? http://www.veritas.com/us/products/filesystem/ Sure, Veritas costs money... (argument about softupdates costing money in a commercial environment deleted). Hmm, looks like Kirk has opened up the license on softupdates, http://www.mckusick.com/softdep/index.html "Effective June 21, 2000 the soft updates code was released under a Berkeley-style copyright which allows unrestricted use in source and binary forms for commercial or non-commercial use." That's great news. Perhaps UFS versus FFS+softupdtes is a fair comparison after all.
