Reimplement the ext2 specific code in a "backend" and make the dump code more generic. This would allow creation of other backends for other filesystems. Implementing a (v)fat backend should be quite easy, as for BSD ffs (we already have the code for this). The BSD code in traverse.c (all those #ifdef _BSD) should go into the ffs backend. -5.
