| 39 | We thank Robert Elz for his ongoing interest in the new file system, |
| 40 | and for adding disk quotas in a rational and efficient manner. |
| 41 | We also acknowledge Dennis Ritchie for his suggestions |
| 42 | on the appropriate modifications to the user interface. |
| 43 | We appreciate Michael Powell's explanations on how |
| 44 | the DEMOS file system worked; |
| 45 | many of his ideas were used in this implementation. |
| 46 | Special commendation goes to Peter Kessler and Robert Henry for acting |
| 47 | like real users during the early debugging stage when file systems were |
| 48 | less stable than they should have been. |
| 49 | The criticisms and suggestions by the reviews contributed significantly |
| 50 | to the coherence of the paper. |
| 51 | Finally we thank our sponsors, |
| 52 | the National Science Foundation under grant MCS80-05144, |
| 53 | and the Defense Advance Research Projects Agency (DoD) under |
| 54 | ARPA Order No. 4031 monitored by Naval Electronic System Command under |
