Understanding the Linux Kernel revision 3 has a very good chapter on
Ext2/3. Is this not good enough?

Maybe you just need to take your time and read it a few times until
the information sinks in.

shd?

You can understand ext2 by looking at the code and reading the
documentation (UTLKr3 and that other paper on ext2 which I forget the
name of - Design of the Ext2 Filesystem?).

You could document it yourself. I'm documenting some userland software
at work that I haven't written and it's amazing how good documenting
something is at teaching you about the code/program.
