as you noted in your later mail, this is documented only in the fsck_ffs manpage
since it only applies to fsck_ffs and not the fs-independent fsck wrapper program.

thanks for your feedback!

thank you very much for the explanations. The UFS2ea is now running stable for a few weeks at my place (migrated with fsck_ffs -p -c ea) as SYSVOL of a Samba server, as well as for some filesystems used as large file shares.

In my records, I noticed another note that I had made more than a year ago. That was around the time the Posix ACLs were imported into NetBSD. I'm not sure if this is on anyone's radar, or if it's generally considered a requirement. I would be interested to know how dump / restore are affected by the current changes, or if there are plans to add support for Extended Attributes / ACLs to them. Back in FreeBSD 6.0 times there was a patch[1] that did exactly that for the FreeBSD variants of dump / restore. Probably the source code deviates however far from it.

Kind regards and thanks again for all the work with this much appreciated feature
Matthias
