FS porting to FreeBSD is actually pretty trivial(*), though some
transactioning changes to the FreeBSD VFS layer consumers (the
system calls and NFS server code) would be necessary to make
the journal roll-back function correctly, following a failure.
(*) Trivial: meaning grunt work is required; not necessarily an
indicator of the amount of work, only the intellectual effort
required for the job
