     23 ----------------
     24 
     25 - size estimation is still out (need to take into account indirect blocks!)
     26 
     27 - parameter checking when density is rather high or low.
     28 
     29 - filling up a file system (running out of inodes or whatever)
     30   doesn't do the right thing.

     34 -------
     35 
     36 - consider replacing ffs_balloc() et al with own code that doesn't
     37   need hacked-up buf.c code
     38 
     39 - whacking on newfs/mkfs.c to allow .PATH-ing directly into makefs(8).
     40   this would involve passing all of mkfs()'s parameters in a single
     41   struct rather than a lot of global vars, etc.
