 The FreeBSD UFS is the FFS accessed through the VFS layer, but basically

 differences though : no ACL support nor snapshots available there.

FFS v1 and v2 are both working. I'm using that everyday. The one part
which needs attention is soft updates: FreeBSD / DragonFly have it as
permanent flag, NetBSD as mount option.

Interesting. In FreeBSD fsck(8) works differently for SU-enabled FS, so
having SU as a mount option won't be possible (if we want to protect our
users from a foot-shooting).
And because of the way SU works, it is possible to run background fsck,
as the only problems are unreferenced objects (inodes, blocks, etc.).
