That would indeed be great. Unfortunately I have other
battle fields right now (fighting against sysinstall and
loader code, among other things), so I have zero time to
write a Handbook chapter from scratch. I'm also probably
not that authoritative; there are people who are more
knowledgable about UFS/UFS2.
However, that whole issue -- formatting multi-TB FS -- is
very much a moving target, especially right now that the
new gjournal code is entering the arena. It will change
quite a lot of things, and the recommandations will be
different. You'll probably have to rewrite half of the
chapter.
With that in mind, maybe it makes more sense to wait a
little bit until gjournal has matured some more an has
officially hit the RELENG_6 branch. I don't think it will
take long; the code has already proven quite stable.
Best regards
Oliver
