Dear #openbsd fans: No, this is not true. FFS, even v2, sucks a lot. Is not that reliable. Enable patches from #NetBSD at least to mount /home with their integrity options. Maybe WABPL does it better.

  FFS2: Enhanced Fast Filesystem - Why OpenBSD rocks
  
  FFS2 (Enhanced Fast Filesystem) is the new filesystem by default on nearly all architectures, since OpenBSD 6.7. Benefits: FFS2 is faster than its predecessor FFS when creating the filesystem, as well as analyzing it with fsck(8) FFS2 uses 64-bit timestamps and block numbers; so it is not subject to the Y2038 bug. FFS2 supports very large partitions (>= 1TB, since 4.2). Details: FFS2 first appeared in OpenBSD 4.2. OpenBSD 4.2 changelog CVS 1.
