Now that 2.3.25 is out and contains Tigran's bfs I suppose there is no point in a detailed comparison. Roughly speaking they are very similar (just modified versions of minixfs or romfs). The first implementation has a small flaw (easily fixed) in the handling of empty files. I am not aware of any flaw in the second one. Tigran says that the third one was written with the SCO source at hand - this worries me a little, but apparently Linus sees no objection.
