\In fact, no -- while I am not The Man, it seems to me that at that point,
you have to worry about the *internals* of the filesystem, since the block
offsets are going to change, and the inodes must then also change.

It would seem to boost the complexity a *lot*, from my viewpoint.

I agree. I would add further that if you have a failing mechanism, the last thing you want to be doing is reading the whole disk, saving some parts, then presumably later reading the disk again to get the good blocks. You could have extra bad blocks by then which would leave you no better off.
