i don't think there's any problem with saying that a UFS provides
"UNIX File System" semantics.  calling something UNIX, however, is
still quite a problem.

In any case, if you're bragging to somebody about what file system
NetBSD uses, the thing you really want to talk about is the FFS, the
Berkeley Fast File System.


basically, "ufs" is used in various places (e.g. /etc/fstab) only
because of history.  it should actually be "ffs" in most places.
