Don't FFS and UFS refer to the same file system, the
Berkeley Fast File System, also known as 4.2bsd? In
my "studies" according to a data recovery problem
I found them used in similar ways.

	% ll /sbin/fsck_[uf4]*
	-r-xr-xr-x  3 root  wheel  87020 Aug 24  2008 /sbin/fsck_4.2bsd*
	-r-xr-xr-x  3 root  wheel  87020 Aug 24  2008 /sbin/fsck_ffs*
	-r-xr-xr-x  3 root  wheel  87020 Aug 24  2008 /sbin/fsck_ufs*

At least on FreeBSD, they're all the same program.
