I'm curious about this too. There some some bit of news a long time ago t=
hat=20
suggested SGI had sort of dropped the project, couldn't pay anyone to wor=
k on=20
it or something to that effect.=20

See this page: http://oss.sgi.com/projects/failsafe/news.html

" Porting of SGI's IRIS FailSafeTM to Linux=AE is complete. The initial r=
elease=20
was mid summer 2000. Source code and detailed documentation are available=
=2E"

Was it really completely ported? There was nothing left to do?
I find that a little hard to belive. Is there no one interested in "impro=
ving"=20
upon what's already available? Perhaps it's a perfect system and needs no=
=20
updates? ;-)


The FAQ and TODO list pretty strongly imply that things were not finished=
=2E It=20
looks almost like someone jsut "declared" the project completed, instead =
of=20
it actually getting somewhere.

Just curious.
