I'm specifically looking at 2.11BSD - which is architecturally UFS but various sizes and constants are different (eg fewer direct/indirect blocks in the inode). In some ways this simplifies things (it may be possible to re-use much or all of the FreeBSD UFS code) but it also confuses things (eg having two different struct dinode's defined, and there will probably be be global variable/function name clashes). In any case, I'm more interested in how to go about porting a new FS into FreeBSD, rather than having Terry actually do the port for me. The other almost-the-same UFS that could be useful is the Tru64 UFS. Last time I tried, I could mount a Tru64 UFS CD-ROM on FreeBSD, but the box would panic fairly quickly when I tried to access the FS (I didn't keep a close record and this was some time ago).
