HP open sources 64-bit Unix file system
In a bold move, Hewlett Packard has made its Tru64 Unix Advanced File Sharing (AdvFS) System available to open source developers under the General Public License (GPL) Version 2. AdvFS was designed to fully leverage the benefits of a 64-bit file system and comes with features such as a robust transaction journaling system that allows file recovery in mere seconds regardless of file system size. It also includes volume configuration that can scale to multiple disks.
Releasing the source code behind AdvFS will go a long way in allowing coders to enhance the file system performance of an enterprise Linux system in the context of both uptime and data security. The AdvFS system has been in use for some 16 years and the corresponding design documents, test suites, and various engineering resources will all be released to open-source developers.
