Yeah, excellent book. One thing that was wrong in the book was that it said in BSD 4.4 you were able to take advantage of state and process paths in chunks of components up to mount points in stateful systems. But it actually works as it does in SYSV processing component at a time as if all file systems were stateless. If we did take advantage of such state then stacking would probably even more complicated to get right.
