New Revision: 263463
URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/263463

Log:
  Revert r263449;
  
  ext2fs: minor update to the dirpref policy.
  
  The change in UFS r254996, reverted the change as the
  older code seems to work better. This was not visible
  in local testing but we can trust UFS is vastly more
  exercised in diferent environments.
