- BSD: no. Xenix: yes, there is a filesystem. I have toyed with the
- idea of writing a filesystem for linux that would understand a BSD ufs
- filesystem but the differences are so great between the bsd VFS layer and the
- linux VFS layer that it would be easier to hack the minix filesystem to
- understand ufs than to try and port the ufs filesystem. I have not decided if
- I want to do this or not.
