Tru64 File system under GPL

HP announced the release of AdvFS under the GPL. The code will be contributed as a reference implementation for the Linux kernel, and will also provide documentation. AdvFS has its roots at Digital Equipment Corporation, as the file system of Tru64, the unix operating system running on the now defunct Alpha architecture. The technology arrived at HP through Compaq.

AdvFS joins the ranks of numerous Linux file systems, such as XFS coming from Silicon Graphics, JFS coming form IBM, Ext3, ResiserFS and others
