This is exactly the project which was just starting to be discussed on freebsd-fs. There are several people who would love to work on this and as long as the FreeBSD community is going to support. If this project is going to be supported then it will be done. Softupdates is definitely a viable solution however it does not address several issues and the license is not a BSD license so it makes me uncomfortable. > and the next question: now that LFS starts to get usable in NetBSD > - has anybody started to look at getting it working again in > FreeBSD too (maybe matt ?) or has it on the TODO list LFS is being considered as a starting point for this project. The goal is to build an extensible file system with features such as the ability to grow and shrink partitions, acl's journaling etc. XFS is also being considered as a feature reference. > i think it is a very important point to get this working in FreeBSD > due to too long fsck times at bootup getting more and more a > killer argument against FreeBSD in serious use with > growing filesystem sizes Absolutely. >- linux now has somekind > of beta quality journaling for ext2 working now > btw.
