But *any* filesystem other than ZFS on a single disk and non-ECC memory is worse!

So what’s gained by defaulting back to UFS in these cases?

There’s the edge case of embedded/very low memory systems but people who
build these probably know what they are doing? And of course I use UFS in VMs
running on a host with ZFS … depending on whether I need the snapshot/replication
features in the guest or not.

Kind regards,
Patrick
