As discussed with Bruce Evans and Kirk McKusick:

o Combine ufs.7 and ffs.7 into a single ffs.7 man page.
o Remove all references to `ufs' as a file system.
o Proper (lack of) capitalization for `ffs'.

For use in file sharing environments

This option requires the presence of the

which holds the default ACL for directories.
If you are using file system extended attributes,
the following commands may be used to
allocate space for and create the necessary EA backing files
for ACLs in the root of each file system.
In these examples, the root file system is used;

.Sh NAME
.Nm ufs
.Nd UNIX file system
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Cd options ENABLE_VFS_IOOPT
.Cd options FFS
.Cd options QUOTA
.Cd options SUIDDIR
.Cd options UFS_ACL
.Cd options UFS_DIRHASH
.Cd options UFS_EXTATTR
.Cd options UFS_EXTATTR_AUTOSTART
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The UFS file system,
based on the Berkeley fast file system
(see
.Xr ffs 7 ) ,
is the default file system in the
.Fx
operating system.
UFS is an advanced file system
capable of managing large and numerous files,
and providing support for features which
provide added reliability as well as added features,
such as Soft Updates, and Extended Attributes, respectively.
The following is a more complete list of the
optional features offered by UFS,
and how to enable and use them.
.Ss VFS I/O optimization
.Bl -tag -width 2n
.It Cd options ENABLE_VFS_IOOPT
This option enables the IO optimization through the VM system,
using VM operations instead of copying operations when possible.
This option adds a sysctl MIB,
.Em vfs.ioopt .
The following are values and effects for
.Em vfs.ioopt :

.It Li 2

.El
.El
.Ss Quotas
.Bl -tag -width 2n
.It Cd options QUOTA
This option allows system administrators
to set limits on disk usage
on a per-user basis.
Quotas can be used only on file systems
mounted with the
.Sq quota
option;
see
.Xr quota 1
and
.Xr edquota 8 .
.El
.Ss File Ownership Inheritance
.Bl -tag -width 2n
.It Cd options SUIDDIR
For use in file sharing environments
on networks including Microsoft Windows
and Apple Macintosh computers,
this option allows files on file systems
mounted with the
.Sq suiddir
option
to inherit the ownership of its directory,
i.e.
.Dq "If it's my directory, it must be my file."
.El
.Ss Access Control Lists
.Bl -tag -width 2n
.It Cd options UFS_ACL
Access control lists allow the association of
fine-grained descretionary access control information
with files and directories.
This option requires the presence of the
.Dv UFS_EXTATTR
option, and it is recommended that
.Dv UFS_EXTATTR_AUTOSTART
is included as well,
so that ACLs are enabled atomically upon mounting the file system.
.El
.Pp
In order to enable support for ACLs,
two extended attributes must be available in the
.Dv EXTATTR_NAMESPACE_SYSTEM
namespace:
.Dq Li posix1e.acl_access ,
which holds the access ACL,
and
.Dq Li posix1e.acl_default ,
which holds the default ACL for directories.
If you are using UFS extended attributes,
the following commands may be used to
allocate space for and create the necessary EA backing files
for ACLs in the root of each file system.
In these examples, the root file system is used;
see
.Sx "Extended Attributes"
for more details.

cd /.attribute/system

.Ed
.Pp
On the next mount of the root file system,
the attributes will be automatically started
(if UFS_EXTATTR_AUTOSTART is included in the kernel configuration),
and ACLs will be enabled.
.Ss Directory Hashing
.Bl -tag -width 2n
.It Cd options UFS_DIRHASH
Implements a hash-based lookup scheme for UFS directories
in order to speed up accesses to very large directories.
.El
.Ss Extended Attributes
.Bl -tag -width 2n
.It Cd options UFS_EXTATTR
Extended attributes allow the association of
additional arbitrary metadata with files and directories,
which can be assigned and retrieved from userland
as well as from within the kernel; see
.Xr extattrctl 8 .
.It Cd options UFS_EXTATTR_AUTOSTART
If this option is defined,
.Nm UFS
will search for a
.Dq Pa .attribute
subdirectory of the file system root during the mount operation.
If found, extended attribute support will be
automatically started for that file system.
