I don't believe there are any restrictions pertinent to FFSv1 that don't
apply to FFSv2 except the limit of 2^32 (or maybe 2^31) filesystem
fragments.
However the code for supporting more than 2^31 (and especially more
tha 2^32) disk sectors could easily have lurking bugs because it
is rather difficult to test.
