Just for opinions on this list, I am forwarding that request underneath. Tx Manish Jain -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: A request for unnested UFS implementation in MBR Date: Sat, 7 Jul 2018 11:29:55 +0530 From: Manish Jain To: freebsd-fs@freebsd.org Hi all, I am a longtime user of FreeBSD, which now serves as my only OS. There is one request I wished to make for FreeBSD filesystems. While UFS implementation under GPT is unnested just as Ext2, the MBR implementation of UFS continues to piggyback on an unnecessary nest (in a BSD slice). Can it not be considered as an alternative to provide a UFS partition (unnested) under MBR too ? Existing users could continue to use the freebsd::freebsd-ufs scheme, while fresh usage could have the alternative of UFS directly recorded in the MBR. I should perhaps note that unlike most users who have shifted to GPT of late, I much prefer MBR because 1) the scheme's design by itself keeps the number of slices/partitions in a disk manageable; and 2) I can use the boot0 manager, my favourite boot manager. Thanks for reading this.
