 Yes, it's the default.
 
 I had thought that tunefs could update the superblock type, and you
 needed to do this if you had an ancient fs, but now I can't see any
 evidence of this in either tunefs.8 or tunefs.c. What am I missing?
 (anyone? please fix the commented out chunk of mount.8 that I just
 committed...)
