Like Roman I'm eager to know which software uses this. Unlike him I  
don't think (yet) it doesn't make sense without a translation table.  
If the list is just presented to  an user we don't need a translation.  
If it is used to do something we may need a translation (but only for  
those FS which have a compatible structure, like cd9660 or extfs, but  
not for ufs, which is UFS2 for us and "I don't know but possibly UFS1"  
on Linux).

Bye,
Alexander.
