FreeBSD's log:
> The ffs superblock includes a 128-byte region for use by temporary

Code was derivied from observing how fsck_ffs `upgrades' to a given
level, and has been tested on recent NetBSD filesystems (reports as "3"),
SunOS ("1"), and ULTRIX ("0"). I haven't found a filesystem of level
"2" to test, but the code should detect it. Fixes [bin/1353]
