how does the mount system call works? [closed]

Question

I am a newbie to linux, I want to understand the internal working of mount command. Can any one guide me to any good document or a book that explains the working. I would be very glad if anyone can even tell me any good book to understand the working of filesystem. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I have a suspicion that some aspects of it are out of date, but this document introduces the internals of some key parts of the VFS system which it sounds like you're interested in. There's also documentation about VFS registration and mounting in the kernel tree too.
