I've done some more work on this, too. I attempted to recycle newfs(8) code, 
though I wasn't entirely successful in the integration. I did, however, make 
important improvements in the realm of user usability. For example, I add 
options for entering the new size in different units, such as KB, MB, GB, etc. 
as well as a percentage of the current filesystem size (such as 150% of current 
file system size). 

Let me know if you'd be interested in seeing my code.
