At what level?  You mean something like this:

   http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net/ext2intro.html

but updated for ext4?

Hmm, not really.  Fragments of what's there can be found in various

      http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Publications

If you'd like to write up something comprehensive for the ext4 wiki,
that would be great.  :-)
