[Info-vax] VMS - The new file system. What do we know about it?...

[IanD]

Is it time for some more information to trickle through about the new file system?

I listened to the chat put up by the Progress software folks and there was some light chatter that let slip a few more details about it's performance

I'm still curious about the new file system

What else can be let loose about it?

- Will existing RMS work with it?

- Will VSI release any of the development tools / utilities used for testing / creating this file system to the public? (I'm asking because these types of tools/utilities can help other create extensions)

- Does it working across volumes? (i.e. sharding like abilities)

- I understand that it's being revamped to 64 bit internals, what are the limits (i.e. How does it compare to this list/ What's similar on this list?)

- Apart from performance, what other nice things come with it? Better security? snapshots ability? etc etc etc?

Where is there more information about this new toy other than the VSI roadmap document?
