My impression is that GPFS on Linux was (and may still be) provided as a binary proprietary loadable kernel module, plus some GPL glue. Not by any means an ideal solution, but a solution (at least one that's acceptable to Linus, and while other Linux developers and the FSF may be less sanguine about loadable proprietary kernel modules they haven't made any real fuss for so many years that one might suspect they're resigned to them). - bill This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
