The license prevents us from using it as the boot FS, so we might as well just use an FS we are allowed to boot from, instead, since we have to have it around anyway. Note that the JFS that IBM put out for Linux is the OS/2 JFS -- the only thing of real value it brings to the table, IMO, is the btree directory structure, which you can put into FFS fairly easily (less than a days work). -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-fs" in the body of the message
