I wonder if Wasabi Systems would consider the donation of their
journaled version of FFS:
http://www.wasabisystems.com/products/jfs.html
Of course they may be earning a decent amount in license fees from it,
but if it's not a big money spinner then it could be a great addition to
the official codebase.
