Yeah, this is nice-looking stuff, thanks.
Beware that the code which you've borrowed from ext2 has had several really subtle problems over the past few years. Stress-testing of this new code (especially on small-blocksize filesystems and under memory pressure) might reveal defects. Still, it could hardly be worse than the present situation.
Does anyone know of a good way of creating UFS filesytems under Linux? I had a go at porting BSD ufsutils a few years ago and nearly died. There's http://ufs-linux.sourceforge.net/, but that hasn't been touched in a couple of years..
