'It took a little longer to develop DFS products than we would
have liked,' Martinez said. 'But we didn't want to go back to
the bad old days of Unix, where file trees would disappear for
no reason. We just didn't want to put DFS out there as a
technology. We wanted to make sure it was something people
could use with confidence.'
When were the bad old days? This is the kind of unsupported and bogus
revisionism that just permeates a lot of this stuff. I wish OSF would
start DCI (distributed computing ideology) and provide some central
location to collect this sort of thing instead of including it in the
DFS, DME, DCE, etc. areas.
