FreeBSD VFS System?
Are there any good web resources or books on the VFS system that the FreeBSD kernel uses? I'm guessing it might have originated from the 4.4BSD(?) interface. I've been attempting to read through the source code for different system calls (ie mkdir, rmdir, mount/umount) and haven't been able to get very far because of the substantial layers of indirection involved. For this reason I was looking at picking apart the different subsystems involved and was wondering if there was anything any more annotated then the source code itself.
