That would indeed be great. Unfortunately I have other battle fields right now (fighting against sysinstall and loader code, among other things), so I have zero time to write a Handbook chapter from scratch. I'm also probably not that authoritative; there are people who are more knowledgable about UFS/UFS2. However, that whole issue -- formatting multi-TB FS -- is very much a moving target, especially right now that the new gjournal code is entering the arena. It will change quite a lot of things, and the recommandations will be different. You'll probably have to rewrite half of the chapter. With that in mind, maybe it makes more sense to wait a little bit until gjournal has matured some more an has officially hit the RELENG_6 branch. I don't think it will take long; the code has already proven quite stable. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co. KG, Marktplatz 29, 85567 Grafing b. M.
