The GPL is not "agreeable." It is anti-business and anti-programmer and should not be tolerated in any way, shape, or form in a BSD source tree. It would be far better to build on softupdates, which is an exceptionally powerful technology that's unique to BSD. Even if journaling is desired, a technology based on softupdates would minimize data loss and reduce the degree to which the state of the file system had to be rolled back after a crash. In short, perhaps the next step should be "firmupdates." --Brett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
