It seems that there are only commercial sollutions, for example JFS for
NetBSD by wasabisystems.com. I think that porting some journaling file
systems to NetBSD will be good as soft-updates doesn't guarantee file
system integrity after system crash. Unlike soft-updates journaling does
so and it is critical for large file systems. A big problem of porting
such file systems is gpl'ed code and it is not a good idea to have such
code in BSD licensed kernel.
