Given FFS's rather dismal performance compared to other filesystems, it would seem like a worthwhile effort. Market share of BSD in generally is dwindling, and things like the filesystem, lack of a multi-threaded IP stack, and lacking SMP support are precisely what's killing it. So, has there been any effort made by the community to get either a new filesystem written or an existing filesystem ported to FreeBSD?
