We currently have: /sbin/newfs /sbin/newfs_msdos /sbin/newfs_hammer /sbin/newfs_hammer2
For unambiguous consistency; could we have the following links ? /sbin/newfs /sbin/newfs_msdos /sbin/newfs_hammer /sbin/newfs_hammer1 -> /sbin/newfs_hammer /sbin/newfs_hammer2 /sbin/newfs_ufs -> /sbin/newfs Possible use cases I can think of: You have a table with a given list of file-systems from which, for example, you want to create the FSTAB file or to create the file-systems via script. The file-system IDs column on said table could be directly linked to each respective newfs command without making IF/ELSE exceptions for newfs for ufs and hammer[1] for hammer. I think it could be useful, does not changes anything, and more importantly does not break anything. And for starters reading the man pages newfs_ufs could make more sense than newfs. The first time I saw newfs I expected a -t for FStype switch associated to each specific newfs_whatever command. It proved not to be the case.
