Reader Reviews
This is a well-written overview of various Unix disk and network-based filesytems. It doesn't go into nearly the depth of, say, Vahalia, but it covers a great deal more, and in a more readable style. The diagrams and code snippets are usually well-chosen. I would agree with the reviewers who question the appropriateness of 'Implementation' in the title: there are better resources for that. But for this system administrator the book is very useful nonetheless.
