FreeBSD currently seems to bascally implement the same fake inode algorithm as SunOS does since ~ 1989. I did extend mkisofs during the past days and started to extend hsfs from Solaris. Once I am ready, I could present the results in case there is someone who is willing to work on the FreeBSD filesystem module, I could explain what needs to be done.
