Hi, let it be technical again. I wanted to do a little bit more research before bringing up the idea of porting the GPLed version of JFS to *BSD. But now is better than else. JFS would be a nice thing for mail/database/http/file-servers. I can not state "that filesystem is better than this". But a filesystem developed by a big company to use it with linux - why do we not port it? Things i wanted to research before starting it: 1) Is there anybody doing it and needing help? 2) What filesystem/booting-process/lvm-stuff is under development in -current? 3) How do i have to modify the kernel to support JFS? (or modify the linux kernel wrapper) 4) How do i kernel programming (if needed)? 5) What _exactly_ is a filesystem? When these points are clear (worst case i have to do a research on all 5, best case only on point 1) i will start the project. Is there any big step i missed during brainstorming? I've got a lot of time left, 300 km from home alone in a motel. Thanks for any hints Marc __________________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Gesendet von Yahoo!
