Cool.  A few minor details...

- XFS does put the superblock at offset zero (your notes say 512).
  As a reference - ext2 puts first SB at 1024K, reiserfs is at 64K,
  I think;
- Not sure what "VFS" means for POSIX ACLs.  XFS natively supports
  ACLs, for ext2/3 you need a patch and then they natively support
  ACLs ... there is no other way to get ACL support;
- Group quotas are supported in XFS, since release 1.0 (not a work
  in progress as your notes suggest) - might want to mention that
  XFS logs quota changes, and is unique in that respect (this means
  quotacheck(8) is a no-op on XFS filesystems as quota information
  is always consistent); 

I think there's a few more presentations on oss.sgi.com too, which
you could refer to if you like.

Have fun.
