Hello, I am interested in porting BeFS from Haiku. I see that it is listed as one of the GSoC ideas. I have done some contributions in the PCI subsystem over at Haiku and have some Linux kernel debugging experience. I am new to FreeBSD( not entirely, I am in the process of porting a driver from FreeBSD to Haiku) and filesystems in general( I have an idea of the basic terminologies like inode, block etc. but thats about it). But I am willing to learn. Here are my questions: - Is the idea still open? - Are there any smaller issues I can resolve to get myself familiar with codebase?( something related to UFS/ZFS would be perfect) - Where is the UFS and ZFS implementation in the source tree? - Any recommended resources for learning about filesystems( specifically FreeBSD, I am reading a guide about BeFS )? Looking forward to hearing from you
