Going back ten years, but still a good tutorial:
"Practical File System Design with the Be File System"
by Dominic Giampaolo
http://www.nobius.org/~dbg/practical-file-system-design.pdf
I think he's still at apple now working on spotlight .. his fs-kit is
good study too:

for understanding the vnode/vfs interface - you might want to take a
look at:
- Solaris Internals (2nd edition) - chapter 14
- Zadok's FiST paper:
http://www.fsl.cs.sunysb.edu/docs/zadok-thesis-proposal/
UFS:
- Solaris Internals (2nd edition) - chapter 15
HFS+:
- Amit Singh's Mac OS X Internals chapter 11 (see http://osxbook.com/)
