You're right in that it would be difficult, there have been so many changes to UFS and the kernel space since BSD-LFS was originally written. What has caught my eye lately though is the LinLogFS[0] project some guys are working on for linux. It's a neat idea because they claim to have written a fairly filesystem independent core which should be able to easily copy with different filesystems without a lot of porting. I'd assume it's probably GPLed but I could see it as a possible kernel option, obviously it has to reside under src/sys/gnu but when those guys get done it might be worthwhile to look into how it works with UFS. There's of course also the option of implementing our own kernel level FS independent journaling filesystem, but I don't think there's enough demand right now. Not when UFS still is plenty for most uses. [0] - http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/czezatke/lfs.html Brandon D.
