Well, regardless of whose fault it was, I can  tell you that BSWare PRO worked 
vrey well. I installed it as the base for a couple of server configurations and 
never had a problem. I think I bought two copies over the time it was 
available, ostly because the servers changed very ,very little over time...
certainly no filesystem related reason to upgrade...If XFS ever comes back
into the mainstream, I'd be quite pleased...
