UFS: I'm in a bit of a bind

I'm in a bit of a bind and could use a little help wrapping up the balance of UFS functionality.
I'm willing to compensate so please email me as I'd rather discuss full details with a little more privacy.

UFS (
Was used in early BSD systems, Almost all modern Unixes use FFS filesystem..)
FFS (
Berkeley Fast File System) Is very well documented and Modern BSD project's use it as their default file system.
Can't you use BSD licensed source code? It's legal to use it in open and closed source project's.
Here is the official documentation..

http://www.cs.cornell.edu/Courses/cs614 ... /KJL84.pdf
I find this documentation very helpful also..

Good Luck

I was tempted to use the code straight from the FBSD tree however the FBSD VFS and the VFS I use are not quite similar so it's going to take a little work to port it over. Unfortunately I'm trying to get a quick turn around and making this happen and I'm involved with a few other things right now that I don't quite have the time.
