All SVR4 derivatives, including UnixWare, support FFS, but call it UFS. My company (Programmed Logic Corp.) sells a FFS/UFS media compatible replacement product for UFS on SVR4 and SVR4.2 based operating systems called HTFS (for High Throughput File System) that gives anywhere between 2-6 times increased throughput, with increased reliablity via checkpointing and intent-logging.
