i have just released ufs2tools-0.4 , this contains a command line utility for reading ufs2 filesystems from windows 2000/XP (as opposed to http://ffs.szm.sk/en/ which is a filesystem driver). url: http://ufs2tools.sourceforge.net/ although the code is, afaik, clean and bug-free, the implementation probably isn't the best. i've implemented it most from scratch except for using the following files from freebsd src: ffs/fs.h, ufs/dinode.h, ufs/dir.h i would appreciate it if someone could go over the code and give me tips on how i could improve or optimize the code. i've noticed that retrieving many small files can be slow, this is because it has to lookup the directory name each time, i could probably add some sort of hash/lookup table to speed it up. i'm not sure what else could be done. i have looked over the code in freebsd src, but it was quite complex and i couldn't understand much of it. -- Nehal
