If I get a Inode number, is there a way I can calculate the block address (with respect to the filesystem) on this inode base on the inode number? I know for UFS, you can calculate the address of the inode base on the inode number. Also, I remember reading somewhere that not all the EXT2 block groups have superblock information. So would the beginning of those block group look like this " group descriptor | block bitmap | inode bitmap | inode table | data " ? And, could someone please tell me which block groups have superblock info. Thank you for your time.
