Please note that if you set "xfs_user=" to something, the default
rc.subr will already try to do something with it, and (silently) fail to
start xfs at all. I do think fixing this would be more user friendly --
besides, its only a two-line patch anyway, and it doesn't even change
the default of running as root.
But if think it's important to refuse this change, I can certainly live
without that patch.
CU,
