:anybody done any work on a utility for growing ufs filesystems?

It has been brought up a couple of times but nobody has tried
to do actually it. Personally, I think it would be a doable
project if someone wanted to have a go at it - to allow a filesystem
to be grown or shrunk on a cylinder-by-cylinder basis. The only real
complexity occurs when you are shrinking a filesystem - you have to locate
the inodes & indirect blocks associated with allocated data blocks
in the cylinder you are trying to remove in order to move the blocks.
