FFSv2 uses 64bit numbers for disk fragment addresses (and a few other
fields).  The main effect is to double the size of the on-disk inode.

The number of inodes is still a 32bit number.
Also the disklabel has trouble defining disks with more than 2^32
sectors - so allowing more fragments seems premature!

A synonym for FFSv2

FFSv1

Probably FFSv1.
