The UNIX File System (UFS) on FreeBSD supports two different on-disk layouts: UFS1 and UFS2.

UFS2 provides sparse inode allocation (faster -fsck), 64-bit storage pointers (larger maximum size), and native -extended attributes (required for ACLs, MAC, and other advanced -security and file system services).
