Hello there, As UFS2 is not backward compatible at all, I wonder why the old fstype in disklabel is being kept: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 1024000 0 4.2BSD 2048 16384 64008 # (Cyl. 0 - 63*) c: 18610326 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 1158*) d: 17586326 1024000 4.2BSD 2048 16384 28552 # (Cyl. 63*- 1158*) This is a disklabel of my newly installed -DP2 system. Partition "a" is formatted as UFS, while "d" is UFS2. I wonder, is there any reason for not distincting these filesystems on disklabel level? Would specyfying different fstype for UFS2 (whatever you call it then) break something? It's not a real problem, but in some cases may confuse someone. I've done some googling, but didn't find any discussion on this topic, so I'm writing here. -- -- wrzask --= v =-- Winfried --=-- GG# 3838383 --=-- JS500-RIPE -- -- w@dream.vg --- w@303.krakow.pl --===-- http://violent.dream.vg/ --- --=< Ride the wild wind - push the envelope, don't sit on the fence, --- -- Ride the wild wind - live life on the razor's edge! >=-- Queen -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
