I would recommend the following papers:

McKusick, M. K., Joy, W. N., Leffler, S. J., and Fabry, R. S., ``A Fast
File System for UNIX'', ACM TOCS 2, 3 (Aug. 1984) pp. 181-197.

Kleinman, S., ``Vnodes: An Architecture for Multiple File System Types
in Sun UNIX'',  Proc. of the Summer 1986 Conference, USENIX, 1986.

Rosenthal, D., ``Evolving the Vnode Interface'', Proc. of the Summer 1990
Conference, USENIX, 1990.

Skinner, G. and Wong, T., ``Stacking Vnodes: A Progress Report'', Proc.
of the Summer 1993 Conference, USENIX, 1993.

Heidemann, J. and Popek, G, ``File-System Development with Stackable
Layers'', ACM TOCS, 12, 1, 1994.

and the book:

McKusick, M., Bostic, K., Karels, M., and Quarterman, J., The Design and
Implementation of the 4.4BSD Operating System, Addison-Wesley, 1996.
