Thread: PGfs Codebase? even old version????
Does ANYBODY know where I can get my hands on the GPL'd PGfs (Postgres File System) code? I saw a note in the archives from 2002 that nobody has seen it in 'years'... and I've just spent over 2 1/2 hours scouring the net to the best of my ability and can't find it -- nor an explanation as to why it's no longer available ANYWHERE! Anybody know of a similar project out there -- or why this fell off the face of the earth? (Patents maybe?) Matt D.

IIRC, the pgfs project was abandoned quite some time ago. wvfs was it's replacement, but both have disappeared completely from wv's site. Why not try emailing the author? bb at wv dot com
Something of interest is http://sourceforge.net/projects/sqlfs/ , the code is in CVS.

A couple of points, 1: One might want to look at the global file system, which i think is still in some kind of active development. 2: Remember when the whole firebirdSQL thing went down and we said no would ever use the same name as our database for another project??? haha. The universe proves to be more strange and twisted than we had at first thought.
