regarding writing file-systems - you have a high-level document in the
kernel documentation describing the vfs interface - but it cannot help
you without the kernel's source. when i tried learning this issue myself
i found on good documentation (good - i.e. one which describes the usae
of all the fs-related structures, side effects of functions, and in
general how to write a file system). you can check the lecture i gave on
the subject - but it is related to kernel 2.4 - and i assume a lot of
the stuff has changed (while a lot has not). look for it on haifux's web
site.
regarding fiber-channel communications - are you interested in
fiber-channel, or in SCSI-over-fiber-channel? these are completely
distinct issues, and in the storage realm, you mostly deal with SCSI.
the HBA driver does the fiber-channel related communications and (tries
to) hide that from you.

I'll check it out.
I am also looking for the storage stuff, like how the fs is built and how to
build one in 2.6 and some docs concerning fiber channel communications
between linux machines.
P.s. and yes i was at your lecture on fs :)

Any recommendations?
linux device drivers, 3rd edition. i think it's the only book that teaches
you how to write kernel code and how to use the kernel's internal API.
most other books are theoretical coverage or code commentary - they are
not very useful as first books on this subject.
after this - start reading the kernel's source ;)
