I may be wrong in stating XFS has been around for seems like forever,
but I do know that XFS shipped before JFS. We lost a few installations
(What the sales rats called "deals") because IRIX had journaling and
AIX did not.
I suppose my point is not which journaled file system shipped first, but
that SCO is lying (What's new...) and someone or some organization
needs to publically wash SCO's mouth out with soap (Perferably, lye
soap...).
