Linux(x86),AIX(PPC-604),Solaris(UltraSPARC).  My prefered server is the
linux one.

CFS ver 1.3.  If this problem was solved in later versions, which ones,
and how do I get it outside the US ?  I only found 1.3 outside USA.

I did find new versions of something called tcfs, which seems to be
related.  Is it ?  if not, whats the difference between cfs and tcfs ?
