UFS2 support?

:With ufs2 and snapshots I expect to be able to just dd the snapshot in
:no time flat but I haven't tried it yet.

    I don't see the point.  All UFS2 does is allow the filesystem to be 
    larger.  Snapshots?  I don't trust FreeBSD's snapshot code (no cloud of
    Kirk's work, but I consider it to be too complex and too UFS-centric to
    have a real future).  Snapshots don't solve anything when you have a 2TB
    filesystem.
