[Yo! Eater! party on down with this one dude!]

Where can I get detailed info on the file block layout under the fast file 
system? After a series of Hard disk misadventers (yea, I the guy who spent weeks
in disk hell) its clear that this info is vital. I want to be able to do things
like recover or delete bad files, patch a disk so it will validate, unthrash a
munged directory etc. Its almost impossible to use the programs like newzap
 diskx and such because the fast file system is different from
the normal file system, and I have not been able to find a good discription 
anywhere. 
 
Thank you for your support.
