"Practical File System Design" Dominic Giampaolo Morgan Kaufman Press (www.mkp.com) ISBN 1-55860-497-9 This book gives a lot of background and philosophy of the design of a modern file system, in this case the FS for BeOS. Practical, readable and surprisingly slim for the tremendous amount of detail. (I'm really impressed with this book, can you tell?) On the net I have seen good documentation for ReiserFS, a quick Google suggests http://www.reiserfs.org/ as a starting point for this.
