I'm not sure, but I might even have suffered some of these problems!
Another interesting question.
If I create an FFSv1 filesystem with less than 1792 (or so) inodes
per cylinder group, then write a large file that consists solely of
the value of the FFSv1 or FFSv2 magic number (or maybe even a validly
constructed superblock) - what will happen next time someone tries to
mount the filesystem?
