FWIW, I once went through the code and attempted to find all the endian-spe=
cific places in UFS/FFS, and rapidly went insane. I also tried a pass of ma=
king a utility to swap an existing filesystem around, exactly so I could cr=
eate one on an i386 then mount it on MIPS. That also quickly turned into a =
fool's errand.=20
