I also find there is very limited documentation on the filesystems
included in NetBSD.  About UFSv2 the docs only mention that "among other
enhancements, it is better suited for filesystems larger than 1 TB".
What does that mean, better suited?  And what is the difference then
between UFS v1 and v2 on my 10 Gb disk?  

And LFS is *completely* undocumented...  The design seems good, but it
is "rumoured" that the current implementation is not very stable.  

So maybe it's a good idea to create a section about filesystems (and the
differences between them, and their options, and what to use for which
purpose, etc) in the NetBSD guide...?
