Hi,
Can you please be careful next time with HTML email? Many people on

Usually from a specification or some docs.

If you want to learn about filesystem development, read this book:
www.nobius.org/~dbg/practical-file-system-design.pdf
Besides that, it is best to study simple filesystems like FAT and
minixfs. It is hard to understand NTFS and reiserfs if you don't know
the basics. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
