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.
