ditto on the .br?

also xfs_fsop_geometry isn't a thing, is it?  xfs_fsop_geom?

and xfs_fsop_geom_v1

ought to be?  I'm not sure what that means?

aligned to ____ ? (worth trying to explain?)

I don't remember all the v1->v2 differences but in other places
you simply say "contains version 2 format" or whatnot, so that might
suffice here.  Also can't do v1 since forever, anyway.  ;)

otherwise 2^16?

Filesystem may allocate discontinuous inode chunks when free space is fragmented?

oh hello, we're back to the structure members again!

I wonder if it'd be better to move the flag details down below all the structure descriptions.
