I would gently suggest naming it filefs or something; ffs already means https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?ffs(7)

That said - good idea/approach; seems like an excellent way to cleanly extend the unix approach to structured file formats:)

also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formatted_File_System

and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_file_system

and kind of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amiga_Fast_File_System

Four file systems named ffs; ffs is popular for file systems
