As your current installation is in the "bad" time window, you will have to follow Chuck's guide to safely update: https://wiki.netbsd.org/features/UFS2ea/ But most likely you will decide to no not need EAs and the easy upgrade path is to stay with FFSv2 (i.e.: not run ufs2ea-flip, but only fsck). This is the path we expect most users to take. Martin
