You may find this book useful Practical File System Design: The Be File System http://www.nobius.org/~dbg/practical-file-system-design.pdf or for specific topics Understanding the Linux Kernel http://ceata.org/~tct/resurse/utlk.pdf Where the APIs changed, look into existing implementations, I don't know about any book that describes recent status of linux internals. david -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
