I am embarking on a project of creating a stackable FS in FreeBSD 4.0, on top of ffs. Apart from the nullfs code snippets and the information in "The Design and Implementation of the 4.4 BSD Operating System" is there any other documentation about the VFS layer and how one would go about designing and building such a file system.
