Even though the old-world UNIX operating systems, like IRIX and HP-UX, have been steadily losing ground to Linux for a long time now, they do still get updated and improved. HP-UX 11i v3 is supposed to get update 4 tomorrow, with a host of new features that won't excite you if you're used to Linux, but they're still pretty useful for HP-UX users.

Hmmm...let's see:
HPC eh?
Well duh. I wouldn't advise trying it with UFS or FFS either! HPC SAN is a highly specialised catagory. No in-tree Linux filesystems claims to be suitable for use as large HPC SANs! This is why specialised filesystems such as Lustre exist.
It appears that when yourself & the author of the articles said "Linux is rubbish as a file server" you mis-spoke and really meant to say "Linux does not provide an Open Source HPC SAN capable filesystem". I could see how you could make such a mistake. The keys are like, right next to each other.
