Thanks for your effort. However, I don't like one part. It is about types. 
Although I understand why you did this way, it is not a good thing that you 
use "int" for block addressing. This is a fundamental issue in fshelp. 
Because of this, filesystem support is not 64-bit safe.

I don't urge you to fix everything, but please don't increase the mess.
