Agreed. But a lot less of a way than writing one from scratch.

AFAIK, it works, kind of. The end users won't normally see it until it's
bulletproof, since there is no point in releasing a flakey reliability
enhancement, is there?

If Microsoft can claim one JFS for Windows NT/0000 and yet their admins
still install a FAT boot partition, I have no problem with chalking up
four JFSes for Linux.

when in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout. The two great secrets
of success are: don't tell anyone everything that you know.
