HP has released AdvFS, a file system that was developed by Digital

Equipment Corp

Wow! That's awesome. I discovered it in 1999 and 9 years later, it probably

remains the most advanced FS I encountered. That was a major reason I was


Kudos to HP for explicitly releasing under GPLv2 to make it Linux-compatible!

That's something I missed in the press release... what is so advanced

about AdvFS? What is the killer feature?

Automatic storage pool resizing would be the killer feature I would want.

Especially advanced Windows users (yes, well, that's my observation)

tend to create lots and lots of partitions and of course having one

filled up means you either need to improvise or undertake a partition

resizing (the latter of which is always a bit risky).

Its good to hear from AdvFS fans. :-)


In case its not clear, this is a GPLv2 technology release, not an actual

port to Linux.  We're hoping that the code and documentation will be

helpful in the development of new file systems for Linux that will

provide similar capabilities, and perhaps used to make tweaks to

existing file systems.  We'll get the tests posted soon.

The docs alone are great, I haven't even gotten to the code yet ;)

Thanks to HP for all of this.
