I just found the Multiple Device Support diagram. I'm trying to figure out how hard it's going for me to get up to speed, because I've only ever casually and informally read about filesystems. I worry that because I didn't study filesystem design in school, and because everything I worked on was in C++...well, the level of sophistication and design might be beyond what I can learn. What do you think? Can you recommend any books on file system design that will provide what is necessary to understand btrfs?
