I've very interested in learning about FreeBSD's implementation of

in the Design and Implmentation of FreeBSD book, and I've read the UNIX
Filesystems book cover to cover.
What I'd like to see/read/understand, is how FreeBSD in particular is
put together in this regard, and then I'd like to go about writing a
very very simple filesystem as a learning excercise.
Can anyone give me some pointers? Would anyone be willing to guide me
along in my quest by answering questions (off list if preferred, or on
list), etc?
Thanks in advance for the hints/input!

Best place would be the source code itself. I think the nullfs
implementation would be a good place (src/sys/fs/nullfs). I thought I
also remembered some little article on writing an FS for freebsd,
finding it is eluding me though.
