Yeah that is a nuisance. We have to address this a lot since we support
many different file systems (some like Unix variants can be either way
round). It'd be really nice to have some function that we could just
point at a POD structure and have it convert what needs to be
converted. Everything does get converted as soon as we get hold of it
but consider:

struct TBSD_SuperBlock
{
  BYTE  Unknown1[ 8 ];
  DWORD Always16,
        Always24,
        AlwaysZero,
        VirtCylinderGroupSize,
        GroupSizeFrig,
        GroupFrigFactorMask,
        DateTime,
        TotalBlockCount,
        CountOfUsableAllocBlocks,
        CountOfVolumeGroups,
        Unknown5,
        AllocationBlockSize,
        ClumpLengthInAllocBlocks;
  BYTE  Unknown6[ 40 ];
  DWORD AllocBlockToDiskBlockShift;
  BYTE  Unknown7[ 48 ];
  DWORD VirtCylinderGroupSizeAgain,
        Unknown8,
        Unknown9,
        NumberOfHeads,
        NumberOfSectorsPerTrack,
        SizeOfCylinderInSectors,
        Unknown10,
        CountOfCylindersPerGroup,
        NumberOfINodesInIListRun,
        BlocksPerGroup;
  BYTE  Unknown11[ 20 ];
  char  MountPoint[ 300 ];
};

Lol. Probably someone will now provide an automatic way to convert this
but it's way too late. This header is dated 1994.
