There is no FFS incompatability for OpenBSD or NetBSD.  I can't speak
for BSDI.

One would think that BSDI would change the FS magic number if they
changed the on disk format.  That's what it's there for, and most of
the people who put it there in the first place work for BSDI.

Plus they'd have backward compatability issues if they didn't.

So the ball is back in your court: does BSDI change the magic number?
