       JFS2 (open-source gpl'ed) is not very hard to port to FreeBSD or
       DF.  I know that becaused I initiated the original effort
       JFS4BSD; which shortly died due to lack of interest back then.

So will there be plans to continue where JFS4BSD left off ?
That would be a great 

	As far as my plans are concerned for porting JFS to DF, I am
	waiting upon two things before I even touch the project:
	    * userland VFS facility for DF
	    * direct-to-dma I/O facility
	The latter item is what I will be working on when I get back
	to developing on DragonFly.
