Hi, Have noticed that formatting large ext2fs partitions take an insane amount of time (about 8 hours for a 50GB partition on a USB stick for me). I know Linux does tricks here, by postponing stuff at filesystem creation and then doing it in the background after first mount. But it didn't cross my mind beforehand that under OpenBSD everything happens when creating the filesystem. Maybe a NOTE to newfs_ext2fs(8) would help in warning about this? Or am I missing something else? Thanks!
