In 1982, I worked at Bell Labs and implemented a hardened Unix file system for a fault tolerant Unix derivative that was used in telephony. This work was much more aggressive than what was eventually out into System V; However, the system V hardening was based on that work as well as other work within BTL. My work was published as a ``Short Communication'' in SOFTWARE - PRACTICE AND EXPERIENCE, Vol 13, pgs. 385-387. If you'd like, email to me, and I can send you a copy. -- John J.

If you know of a paper on :the subject would you please reply. I would also be interested. In fact, I am currently looking for any papers written on the Unix file system (in addition to those included with the BSD distribution). -- kral 408/647-6112 ...amdahl!drivax!braun "To surrender is to remain in the hands of barbarians for the rest of my life; To fight is to leave my bones exposed in the desert waste" - ancient chinese poem
