prosto z Warpcast'a:
Based on the GPLed source codes of JFS for Linux (that are actually
taken from the OS/2 source code with some Linux adjustments and some
stuff removed), the first source code release of the free Journaling
File System (JFS) for OS/2 has been made available at the Netlabs
public CVS server. The repository information is:
SET PSERVER=:pserver:guest_at_www.netlabs.org:d:/netlabs.src/openjfs
user: guest
password: readonly
A source code snapshot can be found at:
ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/snapshots/openjfs/openjfs_20000421.zip
There is no binary distribution available right now because there are
still some problems to resolve. It works quite well without the lazy
writer but with it, it can cause lockups. Shutting down the file
system also causes some problems. Most of the utilities (like chkdsk)
are not compiling yet. It should be usable on Warp Server for
e-business and also Warp 4 with at least Fixpak 13 installed!
The goal is to fix the remaining bugs, build some stress test tools
(a file system should be tested quite well before daily use) and to
add new features that IBM is also working on or that are completely
unique (lazy commit, disk quota, bootable file system, support for
removable drives, performance optimizations, ...).
Therefore we are looking for talented developers that want to help
working on this great file system!
Kudos go to Knut Osmundsen for getting the inial version working and
especially Dave Kleikamp (lead JFS developer at IBM Austin) for being
so helpful. According to Dave, the Linux JFS will be specifically
supporting volume sharing between OS/2 and Linux!
