Can you recommend any papers that explain the differences between UFS1 and UFS2 ie the
benefits ?

 - aW


	As of today, newfs(8) and sysinstall(8) will create UFS2 file systems by
	default, unless explicitly specified.  Users wanting to create UFS1 file
	systems for whatever reason (interoperability with earlier versions, etc)
	should be sure to employ the -O1 flag to newfs(8), or hit '1' in the label
	editor in sysinstall(8) to select UFS1.
