href="http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2006-February/015575.html">porting</a>
the NetBSD tmpfs to FreeBSD. The source and some benchmarks can be found

tree locking has to be added. There are also <a

care of. Rohit has no time to work on it in the next months, any volunteer is
welcome to continue his work.</p>
