What about the Google SoC project of porting FUSE to FreeBSD? I think this could be the next best thing with regard to supporting non-BSD filesystems. Iff the user-space FS implementations of FUSE are portable, this would bring support of numerous FS to FreeBSD: SMB via FUSE, SSHFS, gphoto2-fuse-fs (I really could use this one), NTFS (with read/write support) and others. Now some "Linux guy" could re-implement ext3fs in FUSE and some other hacker could do a UFS/UFS2 port and then Linux and FreeBSD would have better implementations of the other's FS. No, I'm not volunteering, and since I don't know much about porting FS anyway, this all might be a dream. But my understanding of FUSE is that this should be possible.
