:why on earth does ext2_read cascade to ufs_*?  is that the operation on=20=

    You'd have to look at the FreeBSD cvs history.  I think ext2 is close
    enough to ufs that the person who did the original port decided to 
    just use most of the UFS code, with a few conditionalized exceptions.
    Don't ask me why.
