NetBSD Today, support for metadata journaling has been added to NetBSD's implementation of the Berkeley Fast File System (FFS), eliminating the need for lengthy file system checks after a crash or power failure. Support for converting existing file systems to use the new journaling capabilities is provided as well. See the official announcement for all the details.

I am really glad to see Wasabi Systems contributing code back into NetBSD. Wasabi has done a lot of cool things with NetBSD, I hope more of them make it into the 5.0 release.

And it only took them five years to open-source it. A big round of applause for Wasabi!
