Hello Pradeep,

We are also developing an LFS for Linux 2.6, named Nilfs (a new
implementation of a log-structured file system).  We implemented Nilfs
using modern technology, for example, file and inode blocks are
managed by B-trees, internal data is processed in 64 bit wide word
size.  The Nilfs also supports snapshots.  The snapshots are
automatically hold without any explicit requests, the can be mounted
as a read-only file system. 

However, cleaner functions are under development.

The Nilfs will be available soon as open source software under GPL.
Could you cooperate with us on Linux LFSes!

Thank you!
