Yes, that would be the command. However I don't believe you will have any particular advantage to using FFS2 for your use case, as there is no additional functionality.

Time for fsck(8) on boot up may be a concern, as the partition is so large. I mark large non-critical partitions like these with no fsck in fstab(8), and then check to see if they mounted in /etc/rc.local in order to execute fsck(8) in the event the mounts failed. For example, in one of my systems I have a 750GB drive with a single filesystem on it, and in that system's /etc/fstab:
Code:
bec2b3983466e45c.d /tomb ffs rw,softdep,nodev,nosuid 1 0
and in /etc/rc.local
Code:
# background fsck /tomb if required then mount.
df | grep -q tomb || (echo fscking /tomb; fsck -p /tomb;mount /tomb) &
