About BFS
BFS (UnixWare Boot File System) is a SCO specification for a KISS filesystem used at bootstrap. It only offers one directory and, due to the way information about blocks are stored, only one file opened for writing at a time.
From what i see, it also means BFS will have to do nasty things if a file must be extended after some other file has been created -- PypeClicker
Agreed, but it's not a general-purpose filesystem. One tends not to extend things like the kernel image or modules. -- Strib
