What about the Google SoC project of porting FUSE to FreeBSD? I think
this could be the next best thing with regard to supporting non-BSD
filesystems.

Iff the user-space FS implementations of FUSE are portable, this would
bring support of numerous FS to FreeBSD: SMB via FUSE, SSHFS,
gphoto2-fuse-fs (I really could use this one), NTFS (with read/write
support) and others.

Now some "Linux guy" could re-implement ext3fs in FUSE and some other
hacker could do a UFS/UFS2 port and then Linux and FreeBSD would have
better implementations of the other's FS.

No, I'm not volunteering, and since I don't know much about porting FS
anyway, this all might be a dream. But my understanding of FUSE is that
this should be possible.
