"Microsoft also claims that Linux has no journaling file system, ignoring the fact that the SGI's XFS is a journaling file system. They also ignore the fact that NT 4.0 itself lacks a journaling file system!!"
Can anyone clarify the issue of journaling file systems? I took the author's advice and searched microsoft.com for "ntfs journaling file system". A new article popped up (November 1999 Technet) where the following claims are made:
"NTFS is a journaling file system with fast file recovery. Journaling file systems are based on the transaction processing concepts found in database theory. Internally, it more resembles a relational database than a traditional file system. It is comparable in function to the Veritas file system found on some UNIX implementations." http://technet.microsoft.com/cdonline/content/co mplete/windows/winnt/winntas/technote/ntun ixvw.htm
Also, is there a version of XFS that will build on Linux? ftp://oss.sgi.com/www/projects/xfs/download/README claims the following: "The code in this directory is original IRIX-XFS xfs_log* code which has not yet been ported to work in Linux. It is intended for viewing, not compiling."
Hopefully, we aren't replying to FUD with FUD...
BTW, I'm typing this from my Linux desktop that is also acting as a file server, and a router -- only 22 days of uptime due to a power outage...
All you have to do is hit their www site. Netscape sends the info for you by default. If you want to check it out, run netcat as a listener and hit it with your browser. You'll see a line similar to:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.08 [en] (X11; I; Linux 2.0.36 i586)
That is, unless you've hacked the binary or something;)

Anyone find the source? rhat 5.2 (and possibly slack 4) doesn't like the binaries.
Index from ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/SuSE-Linux/suse_update/X/:
