I read them, but it is really hard to find any valuable information in
them... :(

I know that XFS is complex - that's why I want to write only simple
read-only filesystem driver (that also all I need). Also filesystem driver
in Linux are completely diffrent than in AmigaOS, so it is easier to write
it from scratch, than port.
