Its too late now, but if you take a newer ufs with the cg stuff in them and mount it on an old system it politly well corrupt the data that the newer kernel needs. So your right, doing this check in newfs wont do anything, but I can tell you this tiny little chain has been a PITA for people that move HD around.... > *Sigh* why did not UFS grow a version number of its own > when things started to change other than UFS1 vs UFS2. > > > This isn't anything like those changes.. UFS changed in a way that makes it difficult to move UFS drives accross systems that are at differing versions. That IS bad no mater how you slice it. I now have to make sure I fsck a drive when moving it from an old to new system to get the cg checksum stuff fixed. > Warner > > > Reviewed by: gjb, jhb, mckusick > > Sponsored by: The FreeBSD Foundation > > Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D12765 > > > > Modified: > > head/sbin/newfs/newfs.c > > > > Modified: head/sbin/newfs/newfs.c > > ============================================================ > ================== > > --- head/sbin/newfs/newfs.c Wed Nov 15 18:03:31 2017 (r325859) > > +++ head/sbin/newfs/newfs.c Wed Nov 15 18:40:40 2017 (r325860) > > @@ -398,6 +398,10 @@ main(int argc, char *argv[]) > > if (pp != NULL) > > pp->p_size *= secperblk; > > } > > + if (getosreldate() < __FreeBSD_version) { > > + warnx("%s is newer than the running kernel and may not be > compatible", > > + getprogname()); > > + } > > mkfs(pp, special); > > ufs_disk_close(&disk); > > if (!jflag) > > > > > > -- > Rod Grimes > rgrimes@freebsd.org -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@freebsd.org
