So here is where the confusion comes from... Since Warner just told me that other BSDs don't handle this (ie they only do PHYSICAL), why do you think *we* should handle this? If we're going to default for safety, why change the mtree defaults to the unsave variant in the first place? I think that you undermine your reasoning by changing the mtree defaults. I think we should either leave it as it is, or change mtree to use FTS_PHYSICAL and with that, change the defaults in our build process.
