I will use v1.0 as you both suggested till then. Since i am experimenting in Virtualbox, i tried to hexedit the superblock. I modified 0x80 (offset) from 136 to 256 and subtracted 256-136=120 from 0x88 (size). It seems to work fine :) Of course i did this because it is a test array in VB. I wouldn't mess with the real array. I just wanted to see if it will work.
