Subject:   Possibility of Porting BSD fs to Linux and vice-versa?  Possible?

I have been pondering the possibility of porting filesystems back
and forth between BSD and Linux.  Could someone shed some light
on whether porting a BSD-supported filesystem to Linux or vice-versa
is fundamentally possible?  I think it is, but I wonder if there is
something
missing from my understanding.   What are the issues involved?
Specifically,
I have been looking at the Union FS, but more generally, what porting
issues are involved.  Applications are easy from both directions...what
about
a fs?  By the way, I use both.

Thanks,
Scott
