BSD Journaled File System Ready For Testing

Posted by timothy on from the dear-diary dept.

Dan writes "The Journaled File System for FreeBSD (JFS4BSD) Project has the goal of porting the JFS Technology from IBM/Linux to FreeBSD. It uses a log-based, byte-level file system that was developed for transaction-oriented, high performance systems. Scalable and robust, its advantage over non-journaled file systems is its quick restart capability: JFS can restore a file system to a consistent state in a matter of seconds or minutes. The jfsutils is under a compilable state on FreeBSD."

  1. ReiserFS by DiSKiLLeR · · Score: 2, Redundant

    Whats wrong with ReiserFS (my favourite) or EXT3? or SGI's XFS even? Strangely, i've never even heard of IBM's JFS before, as ReiserFS/EXT3/XFS make all the news here.
