It's GPL'ed, doesn't fully support POSIX semantics, and has severe limitations (16 MB maximum file size, 256 MB maximum file system size). It is probably better to design a new file system from scratch (and make it BSD-licensed). Just my 2 cents. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.
