filesystems that have block pointers that are out-of-range for their filesystem. These out-of-range block pointers are corrected by fsck(8) so are only encountered when an unchecked filesystem is mounted. A new "untrusted" flag has been added to the generic mount interface that can be set when mounting media of unknown provenance or integrity. For example, a daemon that automounts a filesystem on a flash drive when it is plugged into a system. This commit adds a test to UFS/FFS that validates all block numbers before using them. Because checking for out-of-range blocks adds unnecessary overhead to normal operation, the tests are only done when the filesystem is mounted as an "untrusted" filesystem.
