[ Thanks to Frank of
IBM for this announcement: ]
IBM’s journaled file system technology, currently used in IBM
enterprise servers, is designed for high-throughput server
environments, key to running intranet and other high-performance
e-business file servers. IBM is contributing this technology to the
Linux open source community with the hope that some or all of it
will be useful in bringing the best of journaling capabilities to
the Linux operating system.
New JFS Release January 12, 2001 (beta 0.1.3)
This is the twenty-third release of IBM’s Enterprise JFS
technology port to Linux.
The twenty-third drop on January 12, 2001 (jfs-0.1.3.tar.gz)
includes fixes to the file system. Fsck now supports fifo
correctly.
Drop 23 has the temporary restriction that the block size must
be 4K. MKFS.jfs defaults the block size to 4K.
