initializing the sysctl mibs data before actually using them.
The original patchset (which is the actual version that is running
on my testboxes) have checked whether all of these sysctls and
refuses to do background fsck if we don't have them. Kirk has
pointed out that refusing running fsck on old kernels is pointless,
as old kernels will recompute the summary at mount time, so I
have removed these checks.
Unfortunatelly, as the checks will initialize the mib values of
those sysctl's, and which are vital for the runtime summary
adjustment to work, we can not simply remove the check, which
will lead to problem when running background fsck over a dirty
volume. Add these checks in a different way: give a warning rather
than refusing to work, and complain if the functionality is not
available when adjustments are necessary.

very slow process, especially for large file systems that is just
recovered from a crash.
Since the summary is already re-sync'ed every 30 second, we will
not lag behind too much after a crash. With this consideration
in mind, it is more reasonable to transfer the responsibility to
background fsck, to reduce the delay after a crash.
Add a new sysctl variable, vfs.ffs.compute_summary_at_mount, to
control this behavior. When set to nonzero, we will get the
"old" behavior, that the summary is computed immediately at mount
time.
Add five new sysctl variables to adjust ndir, nbfree, nifree,
nffree and numclusters respectively. Teach fsck_ffs about these
API, however, intentionally not to check the existence, since
kernels without these sysctls must have recomputed the summary
and hence no adjustments are necessary.
This change has eliminated the usual tens of minutes of delay of
mounting large dirty volumes.

shuffles the timing and sleep calls in bgfsck from:
sleep timer_on io timer_off io io io io io io io
to
sleep io io io io io io io timer_on io timer_off
The original method basically guaranteed that the timed I/O included a
disk seek every time, which made bgfsck sleep for much longer than
necessary.

original intention of the less restrictive permissions was to allow
users to move or delete recovered files that they own. However, it
is better to not create world-writable directories by default; the
administrator can always pre-create lost+found if different permissions
are desired.

filesystem that is checked in background. Create the snapshot in this
directory rather than in the root. There are two benefits:
1) For terabyte-sized filesystems, the snapshot may require many
minutes to build. Although the filesystem will not be suspended
during most of the snapshot build, the snapshot file itself is
locked during the entire snapshot build period. Thus, if it is
accessed during the period that it is being built, the process
trying to access it will block holding its containing directory
locked. If the snapshot is in the root, the root will lock and
the system will come to a halt until the snapshot finishes. By
putting the snapshot in a subdirectory, it is out of the likely
path of any process traversing through the root and hence much
less likely to cause a lock race to the root.
2) The dump program is usually run by a non-root user running with
operator group privilege. Such a user is typically not permitted
to create files in the root of a filesystem. By having a directory
in group operator with group write access available, such a user
will be able to create a snapshot there. Having the dump program
create its snapshot in a subdirectory below the root will benefit
from point (1) as well.

bandwidth for other processes. Since the sleeping is done from
userland, this avoids the locking issues that affected the kernel
version.
The algorithm used here is to measure a moving average of the times
taken by a sample of read operations and then delay 1 in 8 reads
by 16 times the measured average. This should correspond to a factor
of 3 slowdown, but in practice the factor is larger (3.5 to 4) due
to hz rounding effects.

used on an old kernel.
Change the fs_sblockloc superblock location field to be in units

did not work properly when the fragment size exceeeded the superblock

A repocopy has now moved the fsck_ffs/preen.c file to quotacheck/preen.c
quotacheck and fsck should probably use the same checkfstab() function
and it should possibly live in libufs.
Trouble is: they have diverged in the meantime.
At least now fsck_ffs is not in the equation anymore.

For now, the UFS1 file size limit is left unchanged so as to remain

filesystem expands the inode to 256 bytes to make space for 64-bit
block pointers. It also adds a file-creation time field, an ability
to use jumbo blocks per inode to allow extent like pointer density,
and space for extended attributes (up to twice the filesystem block
size worth of attributes, e.g., on a 16K filesystem, there is space
for 32K of attributes). UFS2 fully supports and runs existing UFS1
filesystems. New filesystems built using newfs can be built in either
UFS1 or UFS2 format using the -O option. In this commit UFS1 is
the default format, so if you want to build UFS2 format filesystems,
you must specify -O 2. This default will be changed to UFS2 when
UFS2 proves itself to be stable. In this commit the boot code for
reading UFS2 filesystems is not compiled (see /sys/boot/common/ufsread.c)
as there is insufficient space in the boot block. Once the size of the
boot block is increased, this code can be defined.
Things to note: the definition of SBSIZE has changed to SBLOCKSIZE.
The header file <ufs/ufs/dinode.h> must be included before
<ufs/ffs/fs.h> so as to get the definitions of ufs2_daddr_t and
ufs_lbn_t.
Still TODO:
Verify that the first level bootstraps work for all the architectures.
Convert the utility ffsinfo to understand UFS2 and test growfs.
Add support for the extended attribute storage. Update soft updates
to ensure integrity of extended attribute storage. Switch the
current extended attribute interfaces to use the extended attribute
storage. Add the extent like functionality (framework is there,
