    You may want to download the following graphical overview of the
    UFS/FFS filesystem that was made by Poul-Henning Kamp earlier
    this year, it's very useful:

    http://phk.freebsd.dk/misc/ufs.pdf

    If you want to print it out you'll need 18 sheets of paper.

    You may also want to use something like doxygen (devel/doxygen in the
    ports tree) to generate source code graphs and make browsing through
    source code easier. Another resource that you may find helpful is
    Robert Watson's FXR site:
