Hewlett-Packard has continued to advance its open-source offerings by making the source code for its Tru64 Unix Advanced File Sharing (AdvFS) System available to open-source developers. The code included on the AdvFS System is designed to help guarantee uptime and data security while enhancing the performance of an enterprise Linux file system.

The code for the AdvFS System is being released to comply with the terms of General Public License Version 2 for Linux compatibility, according to a release from HP.

In addition, HP will release design documentation, test suites and engineering resources for open-source developers. All of the materials will serve as a resource base that Linux developers can use to optimize existing software and create new tools to promote greater functionality and data security.
