I am looking for a file management system that supports basic file
handling capabilities as well important index structures (hashing,
B(+)-trees, etc), runs in a UNIX environment with a multiserver
configuration, and is reasonably efficient. An important requirement
is that the system should allow low level access (at the level of
physical blocks from disk) to data. The system c-tree Plus was
suggested to me. However, after some enquiries I learned from the
c-tree people that the UNIX version of their product is not yet ready
for marketing, while their brochures claim its availability and even
quote a price! I would much appreciate information on a file management
system that meets the above requirements, the company marketing it,
and reference literature. Of course, info on any "free" systems along
with the sites from which they can be ftp'ed would be more than
appreciated. Please send email to:
laks@maxwell.concordia.ca
OR
laks%maxwell.concordia.ca@relay.cs.net
Thanks a lot in advance!
