I've learned a great deal about how UNIX works by hacking the Minix OS myself. A by-product of my hacks was the development of a FreeBSD kernel module that impliments the Minix Version 2 file system. The latest release that it runs on is FreeBSD 4.6.x. My question is whether the FreeBSD community is interested in such a module? If so, then how does one go about submitting a kernel module for evaluation and possible inclusion in the source? My impression is that the Minix fs is a little simplistic perhaps for inclusion in the FreeBSD source. If so, then is it possible to submit it as a port? I have never seen an example of a kernel module that was submitted as a port, however.
