I have restarted my efforts to work on this again, except I am developing directly on DragonFly BSD now. I have plans to eventually port the code to FreeBSD but no guarantees about that. > > I suppose jfs code not depended on machine, it depend on some Linux > internal API. Most of the JFS code is written okay and can be conditionalised to work with various operating systems. If effort is made to clean up the common core file system code, like btree and dtree structures, etc than it should be relatively simple to do the rest. My read-only implementation of JFS on DragonFly BSD is almost done, just working on the tedious parts of porting the dtree and imap code to BSD VFS. I am currently deprived of hard disk space so my testing ability is restrained. :-( Please don't hesitate to contact me if you would like more information about the port.
