I don't know of any one place that does that well. Hopefully there is one and somebody has done it well. But I know "The Design and Implementation of the 4.4BSD Operating System" By McKusick et al, goes into severe detail on the 4.4BSD kernel. There are now at least three books on the internals of the Linux kernel. Try http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0201331438/qid=976640303/sr=1-1/107-4917723-8531734 I just searched amazon for linux kernel internals. McKusick's book will help greatly with BSD, I don't know anything about the quality of the others. But reading those should accomplish what you want. Care to share the sources of what you've been reading so far? Incidentally does anybody know if Kirk or anybody else is planning on doing an update on Design and Implementation for what's in FreeBSD now? Personally I'd rather he perfected softupdates, but both would be nice.
