Hi there,

I was looking at using something very similar to arc.c <http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/uts/common/fs/zfs/arc.c> for an open source project. However, I'm a bit worried about the patent IBM is holding on the ARC data structure.

I remember PostgreSQL dropping their ARC implementation for 2Q some time ago. But I was hoping, that someone on this list might have some constructive input on this issue?

cheers
 Kasper
