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."

    Its excessive for now, but thinking about the future. With AMD coming out with a 64bit cpu, and maybe Intel might counter with a 128 bit (!) cpu for the servers, the address space grows. With that, and LVMed 200GB harddisks, and gigs and gigs of ram, we need scalability till FreeBSD 6.0.
