    I've very interested in learning about FreeBSD's implementation of
    vfs/buffer cache/fs archicture. I've read through mckusick@'s chapter
    in the Design and Implmentation of FreeBSD book, and I've read the UNIX
    Filesystems book cover to cover.

    What I'd like to see/read/understand, is how FreeBSD in particular is
    put together in this regard, and then I'd like to go about writing a
    very very simple filesystem as a learning excercise.

    Can anyone give me some pointers? Would anyone be willing to guide me
    along in my quest by answering questions (off list if preferred, or on
    list), etc?

    Thanks in advance for the hints/input!
    Eric
