IIRC (and IANAL) any version of XFS, with the exception of CXFS, running on Linux is GPL'd code. There is no such beast as non GPL XFS on Linux. For that SGI licensing statement to be true, they've have to be running XFS on IRIX, which means they'd need an IRIX license as well. Not to mention that IRIX only runs on MIPS hardware, and only SGI MIPS hardware. This HDS storage blade is x86. It seems whoever told you that is misinformed or is being disingenuous in order to avoid assisting you. -- Stan _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@oss.sgi.com http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
