People concentrating on interoperability uses of filesystems are out
of their minds to be writing them in-kernel, when they could be running
them from userland as userland nfs servers, accessing the raw disks.
All we need is to make this a default part of the system, add a libuserfs
to provide an abstraction layer, and tada.
Let me know when there's a JFS4NFS and I'll give a damn, cause then I
can use it everywhere I'd need to.
FWIW, background fsck and softdep and ufs2 will give you all of the good
stuff you *see* from using a journaled fs, without the corruption of a
whole disk, like my girlfriend's laptop went through, running with Linnex
XFS.
