Throw the switch--change to UFS2 as our default file system format for
FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE and later:
- newfs(8) will now create UFS2 file systems unless UFS1 is specifically
requested (-O1). To do this, I just twiddled the Oflag default.
- sysinstall(8) will now select UFS2 as the default layout for new
file systems unless specifically requested (use '1' and '2' to change
the file system layout in the disk labeler). To do this, I inverted
the ufs2 flag into a ufs1 flag, since ufs2 is now the default and
ufs1 is the edge case. There's a slight semantic change in the
key behavior: '2' no longer toggles, it changes the selection to UFS2.
This is very similar to a patch David O'Brien sent me at one point, and
that I couldn't find.
