> You can treat UFS as ext2/3 with dir_index enabled by default (not
> exactly but that's what dirhash translates to in practice).

> UFS by default creates 2k fragments ("sub-blocks"), so in practice any
> tuning in this direction won't do much.

> More drives=better in this case. Don't forget to tune dirhash_maxmem.
