==Implementations==

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.<ref>{{cite web | url=httphttps://befs-driver.sourceforge.net/about.php | title=BeFS driver for Linux: About BeFS | author=Will Dyson | year=2002 | publisher=SourceForge | access-date=2006-12-09 }}</ref>

In 2002, Axel Dörfler and a few other developers created and released a reimplemented BFS called OpenBFS for [[Haiku (operating system)|Haiku]] (OpenBeOS back then).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://haikunews.org/482 |title=OBFS Reaches Beta |author=Daniel Teixeira |date=2002-09-04 |work=Haiku News |access-date=2006-12-09 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061004111533/http://haikunews.org/482 |archive-date=2006-10-04 |url-status=dead }}</ref> In January 2004, Robert Szeleney announced that he had developed a fork of this OpenBFS file system for use in his [[SkyOS]] operating system.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.skyos.org/?q=node/210 | title=Update | author=Robert Szeleney | date=2004-01-23 | work=skyos.org | access-date=2006-12-09 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070926234126/http://www.skyos.org/?q=node%2F210 | archive-date=2007-09-26 | url-status=dead }}</ref> The regular OpenBFS implementation was also ported to [[Syllable Desktop|Syllable]], with which it has been included since version 0.6.5.
