Linux Ext2 Inode question

(Please CC me on replies)

I have a question regarding the inode number on the EXT2 filesystem. 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.

Jim
