Does this actually contain any useful information on those filesystem formats?
How the bits are layed out on disk, etc?  I don't need books on how to use
filesystems, I want to get into the guts of filesystem and look at how the
file and directory information is actually stored on disk, etc.

    Thanks,
        Quincey
