   That's one of the little-spoken-of problems in the world of open    
   source.  Years down the line, it turns out that things aren't open    
   source, because the source isn't published any more.  The JFS project at    
   SourceForge has only Linux trees (linux24, linux25, and linux-2.2.12)    
   and there's no sign of those trees ever having had a jfs_ifs.c file    
   (which is the file to look at for the relevant OS/2 FSD entrypoints, if    
   anyone comes across this discussion in the future).   
      
   OS/2 LVM source code was available?  What was it the source for?  The    
   LVM utility?  The device manager driver?  I've looked all over the place    
   to find a description of the on-disc data structures, so far fruitlessly.

   I went to the list at http://svn.netlabs.org/ .  As you can see, there's    
   no mention there.  A request to whom?
