I'm repeating my recent post to -current, just for the record... Actually,
there IS the way to tell whether the last sector is in use on UFS, and
reserve it from futher use by FS. It's badsect(8). Just declare the last
sector as bad, [...]
The problem with this approach is that if the user does a newfs and restore,
the information is not preserved.
The last sector must be re-marked as BAD after newfs and before restore, just
like actual BAD sector. I don't say that keeping the last sector out of use
is simple, but it's definitely possible (again, with UFS).
