HP donating file system to Linux - Tru64 Unix Advanced File System (AdvFS)
HP on Monday is announcing the contribution of its Tru64 Unix Advanced File System (AdvFS) source code to the Linux community, offering capabilities in uptime, security, and improved performance of Linux file systems, the company said. AdvFS will be donated as a reference implementation of an enterprise Linux file system. Code will be made available under the General Public License Version 2 for compatibility with the Linux kernel, HP said.
HP's file system could offer capabilities beyond the ext4 file system project for Linux, said Bdale Garbee, chief technologist for HP's open source and Linux organization. These could include improvements in file system simplification and storage management, Garbee said. "File systems tend to take time to mature to a level of robustness and proven capability that would cause a customer to be willing to bet their mission-critical data on a particular file system," Garbee said.
