Not so sure whether there's an ongoing projects to have a journaling FS in FreeBSD, I guess not, however, I have heard that there're many efforts on other FS's, for example, tjr's "tfs" (an extent-filesystem) etc. You can find them in p4. I think the only issue with ReiserFS to prevent it from getting its way into FreeBSD's kernel source code might be the licence. Implementing it from scratch is possible, but it really needs a lot of work. Personally I'd prefer the SoftUpdates approach, so I am more interested in what made you to think it doesn't fit your needs, performance? security features? or others?
