Hi,
I'm currently working on an implementation of the Unix 6th Edition's
filesystem for Linux. I think earlier Unix filesystems should be very
similar to it. I would like to implement them, too, but I don't have
exact descriptions of them (for the 6th Edition I've the Lions Book;
there is not much about the actual filesystem architecture in it, but
it should be enough - together with the code ;-).
Please send me descriptions, specifications and everything else
you've about the early Unix filesystems. Also filesystem images are
very welcome as I can use them to test my implementation.
My e-mail account can only handle attachments <3000KB. Please
compress or split the files if they are bigger than 3000KB.
Thank you
Sven

Sven, you might want to look at this:

I have hacked together a version of a Unix 5th (and 6th)
Edition filesystem for Linux. It is read only, and was written for
Linux 2.0 on an x86 and so will require a little work to install on
other systems and newer kernels, but it is fun to be able to mount
old disk images.
Cheers,
Warren

You might want to run V6 or V5 on a simulator. For one you can "see"
the filesystem and you can read the man pages, especially fs(5).
