 Has there been any work on porting JFS2 onto Freebsd?

There has been recent work to port several of the newer Linux file systems to FreeBSD, including:

- Pretty old work to get the basic JFS userland tools working (status
  unknown, likely very stale due to the passage of time).

- Pretty recent work to get read-only reiserfs working (committed and in
  the CVS repository).

- Pretty recent work to get read-only XFS working (external repository,
  but publicly available).

Also potentially of interesting:

- Increasingly dated work to port the pre-journalled version of HFS+ to
  FreeBSD, which works well subject to the datedness and
  pre-journalledness of the work.

There's also on-going work on a journalled version of UFS. I'm sure the authors of any of these would be interested in someone lending a hand -- I know there have been specific appeals for interest from the XFS crowd in the last month, along with test patches, etc, for example. You might want to post to freebsd-fs looking for details on the various projects.
