In addition to the original 1996 BFS used in BeOS, there are several implementations for
Linux. In early 1999, Makoto Kato developed a Be File System driver for Linux; however, the driver never reached a completely stable state, so in 2001 Will Dyson developed his own version of the Linux BFS driver. In 2002, Axel Dörfler and a few other developers created and released a reimplemented BFS called OpenBFS for
Haiku (OpenBeOS back then). In January 2004, Robert Szeleney announced that he had developed a fork of this OpenBFS file system for use in his
SkyOS operating system. The regular OpenBFS implementation was also ported to
Syllable, with which it has been included since version 0.6.5. ==See also==
