ffs ffs (sic)
There is only an ffs according to the man pages (;-<) :
%%%
$ man ufs
No manual entry for ufs
$ man 7 ffs | col -bx
FFS(7) FreeBSD Miscellaneous Information Manual FFS(7)
...
DESCRIPTION
The Berkeley fast file system provides facilities to store file system
^^^
data onto a disk device. ffs has been optimized over the years for speed
and reliability and is the default FreeBSD file system.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
...
$ apropos ufs
bread(3), bwrite(3) - read and write blocks of a UFS filesystem
cgread(3), cgread1(3) - read cylinder groups of UFS disks
extattrctl(8) - manage UFS1 extended attributes
fsck_ffs(8), fsck_ufs(8) - file system consistency check and interactive repair
growfs(8) - grow size of an existing ufs file system
libufs(3) - operate on UFS filesystems from userland
newfs(8) - construct a new UFS1/UFS2 file system
sbread(3), sbwrite(3) - read and write superblocks of a UFS filesystem
ufs_disk_close(3), ufs_disk_fillout(3), ufs_disk_fillout_blank(3), ufs_disk_write(3) - open and close userland UFS disks
[So we have a library and some utilities for a UFS filesystem (sic)
although we only have an ffs file system ;-).]
%%%
This was confusing enough when there were only ffs and plain ufs, and no
libufs.
There is also no support for the ffs, ufs1 or ufs2 file system types:
%%%
$ lsvfs
Filesystem Refs Flags
-------------------------------- ----- ---------------
msdosfs 0
linprocfs 0 synthetic
nfs 0 network
ext2fs 0
cd9660 1 read-only
ufs 7
procfs 1 synthetic
$ find /etc/passwd -fstype ffs
Warning: Unknown filesystem type ffs
$ find /etc/passwd -fstype ufs1
Warning: Unknown filesystem type ufs1
$ find /etc/passwd -fstype ufs2
Warning: Unknown filesystem type ufs2
$ find /etc/passwd -fstype ufs
