Also a great book for novice kernel-delvers is "the Daemon book",
written by some of the guys who actually wrote much of BSD and many of
the things that we take for granted in modern Unix --
"The Design and Implementation of the 4.4BSD Operating System"
Authors: McKusick, Bostic, Karels, Quarterman
Publisher: Addison-Wesley
ISBN: 0-201-54979-4
Maybe if I say enough great things about it they'll all offer to sign
it for me, and each write a small unpublished kernel secret in the
margins...
Speaking of filesystems, it has a very nice section on 4.4's
implementatin of stackable filesystems.
