I don't think performance will be much different but if so, UFS1 would be (sightly) faster than UFS2 because one page read will get more inodes from disk and 32 bit (UFS1) arithmetic may be slightly faster than 64 bit (UFS2). thanks for answer i was looking for! i will rebuild FS to UFS1, savin

It makes perfect sense to use UFS1 on systems where space savings matter unless your application requires any of the new features that are not present in UFS1. Nanobsd(8) for example uses UFS1 by default too. thank you for answering. i don't need any new extra features, just plain filesystem on

Since FreeBSD 9.0, you can choose between UFS1 and UFS2 in bsdinstall(8) when creating a new freebsd-ufs partition. Q. Schwerkolt > Date: Sun, 30 Dec 2012 14:21:26 +0100 > From: woj...@wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl > To: freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org > Subject: UFS1 vs UFS2 > > Open

UFS1 vs UFS2

2012-12-30 Thread Wojciech Puchar
OpenBSD by default use UFS1 for partitions smaller than 1TB. FreeBSD use always UFS2. UFS2 uses double the amount of space for inodes. basic operation seems the same. Does it make sense to use UFS1 for small filesystem (on SSD) that would have few millions of files. It will take less space fo
