Filesystem marker.

[Alexander Kabaev]

Look for ffsfind.c elsewhere on Internet. I used one when I incidentally
relabeled a device from under a host on our SAN array. Had to modify it
slightly to recognize superblocks UFS2 on FreeBSD side, but on a bright
side, it worked pretty much unchanged on Solaris box.

Just in any case, I saved my copy at
http://people.freebsd.org/~kan/ffsfind.c
