I'm currently writing a more in depth page on the file system. Because, ext2 is contains a lot more features, and attributes, that other filesystem don't have (i.e FAT), this may take some time.
I'm considering adding the a list of fields withing the filesystem's data structures. Would it be wise to put such information in the page?
EDIT: Also because, UFS and Ext2/3 are similar in structure. Once I've finished with this I plan to add information regarding this file system.

Maybe a generic Berkley FFS/UFS/EXT2 overview page going over the basics of super blocks, inodes, cylinder groups, directory structure, etc would be a good idea. Then we could have a detailed analysis page for each implementation.
I've update the page with my new version, It's still a work in progress. I still need to elaborate on directories (both versions), and provide captions to data structures, and add the directory data structures.
Edit: is there any thing that needs to be fixed or is it the best thing you have ever read?

Other than being rather incomplete it looks very good.
