You should wait to see just how serious they really are about this, and how much of it they are really going to give you. Another Unix File system (yawn yawn yawn) with journalling (which means it will be **SLOW**). I would vote for the ext3 project to continue. It appears they were reacting to us. Here's a trace of their accesses to our website (obtained via reverse subdomain trap) on the day we announmced open sourcing FENRIS and giving it to you guys to have fun with (no strings attached). Not a coincidence. Enjoy. It looks like a commercial ploy to "hijack" linux and buoy up their legacy Irix products. To most big, old guard, commercial Unix companies, Linux is the "kiss of death" to their bloated, overpriced, and proprietary solutions. We are bringing Linux Novell's installed base of 8,000,000 NetWare Servers as a potential target market for Linux to penetrate. How many Irix nodes are there? 40,000 maybe?
