In other SGI-related matters, OSNews reports that a surprising project went public last week: an effort to reverse engineer the 32-bit version of Silicon Graphics' IRIX kernel. ( The Reg FOSS desk hasn't used either logical-volume management system in anger in years, but distantly recalls preferring the EVMS tooling to the alternative LVM2 system, which won the favor of the kernel developers and got built in instead.)
It's also the basis of Red Hat's next-generation Stratis storage engine, which combines the XFS disk format with ZFS-style enhanced volume management. XFS has faded somewhat into obscurity in recent years, but in the past it has been the default filesystem in more than one enterprise distro.
