UFS2 Now Default Creation Type in FreeBSD

Posted by Hemos on from the create-well-my-padiwan dept.

Dan writes "FreeBSD's Robert Watson says that effective today, newfs(8) and sysinstall(8) will create UFS2 file systems by default, unless explicitly specified. Users wanting to create UFS1 file systems for whatever reason (interoperability with earlier versions, etc) should be sure to employ the -O1 flag to newfs(8), or hit '1' in the label editor in sysinstall(8) to select UFS1."

    This is for FreeBSD 5.x, FreeBSD 4.x is still using UFS1

      Any release after 4/21 or if you are tracking -5.0-current with cvsup, it will probably upgrade the tools.

      From today means for HEAD (aka "-current") from April 20th onward.

      RELENG_5_0 is only for security fixes, and will not include this change.

      Eventually, when RELENG_5_1_0_RELEASE is tagged, it will include this change.
