	:: I went looking for such sources, and according to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_File_System Unix File System] on Wikipedia (not the most reliable source, but probably an OK start), the ones before FFS it calls 'V6FS' and 'V7FS' (which are basically identical, except that the former has 16-bit block numbers, and the latter 32-bit). Then comes FFS, and various descendants of ''that'' are called 'UFS'. They're all roughly the same (they're all based around 'cylinder groups', which came in with FFS), but have varying enhancements.

			::: Now that I do a wider search, I think UFS is mostly used for a newer thing. I don't even remember where I saw it used otherwise. I'll revise. [[User:Larsbrinkhoff\|Larsbrinkhoff]] ([[User talk:Larsbrinkhoff\|talk]]) 05:53, 8 September 2022 (CEST)
