I haven't used either. OpenGFS hasn't released anything yet (you have to get it from CVS) but they want to fix a bunch of security issues they've found and tidy up the code before releasing it. Sistina's version has moved on from the GPL version, but there is some concern that they may be violating the GPL and that their code might still contain the security problems that OpenGFS is fixing. I have nothing to do with either project, so I don't know all the details. Have a look at their web sites. Sistina's GFS web site is http://www.globalfilesystem.com/ which redirects to http://www.sistina.com/products_gfs.htm. -- Michael Wood [EMAIL PROTECTED]
