Hi Jim,Thank you for this new library. I plan to begin testing the library late next week.

On testing, there is a single new test that resizes a FAT and an HFS partition, then checks each with fsck.vfat and fsck.hfs respectively. Unfortunately, as noted in comments, fsck.hfs segfaults, at least with the version in Fedora 16. See the comments in tests/t3000-resize-fs.sh for where to get a working program.
The fsck.hfs segfault problem is not limited to Fedora. The segfault also occurs in Ubuntu.
Of note is that the segfault seems to occur when the file system / partition size is a power of 2. (e.g., 2 GiB, 1 GiB, 512 MiB, 256 MiB, 128 MiB, 64 MiB, 32 MiB).
If; however the size is not a power of 2, say 40 MiB, then fsck.hfs does not segfault.
