"A good source?" How about the source? :)
If you want an overview of how XFS works, then the early docs and some
of the talks that have been given have some good info (although also
some out of date info).
If you need detailed things like superblock magic numbers, then of
course the source is the way to go. This is a pretty easy way to
navigate the tree:
http://innominate.org/~graichen/projects/lxr/source/?v=xfs (or cscope,
of course).
I'm not familiar w/ GRUB, so I'm not sure what all you need, but feel
free to ask questions, I'm sure we can help with whatever you need.
