(reiser4 not ready, fuse based not ready for production use, too) Anybody CogoFS and having some "real-world" experience with this filesystem ? ( http://www.shaolinmicro.com/support/doc/cogofs_tech_wp.html ) Would you recommend using it ? Unfortunately it`s closed source - the vendor is developing quite nice stuff for linux, but it`s understandable that he needs to live from that - so no open source. is there any good collection of arguments to make a vendor re-think his strategy and open up the source of their application? from what i`ve seen for now, CogoFS looks really nice and seems to be useable, but availability is limited to certain distros. regards roland ps: no - this is not a try of advertising CogoFS, i`m completely independent user. _____________________________________________________________________ Der WEB.DE SmartSurfer hilft bis zu 70% Ihrer Onlinekosten zu sparen! http://smartsurfer.web.de/?mc=100071&distributionid=000000000066
