Consider this to be a vapourware project.  Somebody put me down as
project leader because I was working at IBM at the time and had a
commitment to help.  I haven't written any code, and I don't think any
worthwhile adaptation of the kernel code to BSD interfaces has taken
place.  I no longer have much interest in it myself.  Indications
under Linux are that XFS beats the pants off JFS.
