Hmm, I don't think there any such examples.. or such a howto.. :(
but you can have a look at the source code for nullFS which is useful if
you are interested. It has very clean commented code, which is also
very easily understandable.

You should also have a look at information VFS, which is the filesystem
interface provided by FreeBSD, for exporting filesystem services, and
what not. :)  Just type "VFS" on google without the quotes, and you should
be able to find a paper or couple of papers by Marshal Kirk McKusick. :) You
can also have a look at other 4.4BSD Docs at:

    http://docs.FreeBSD.org/doc

  Hope this helps.. :)
