Hello,

Just wondering: Is there any documentation regarding the format of FFS
dumps generated by dump(8)?

I'd be interested in poking around in my disk dumps with a perl script
or something. --- Perhaps one could even write a fuse file system that 
can union-mount multiple layers of FFS dumps read-only?


Best,

Moritz
