How does the mount system call work?

Question

I'm new to Linux, I want to understand the internal workings of the mount command. Can someone lead me to any good document or book explaining the work. I would be very happy if someone could even tell me a good book to understand the operation of the file system. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I have a suspicion that some of its aspects are outdated, but this document contains the internal elements of some key parts of the VFS system that sounds like you are interested. In addition, the kernel tree also has documentation on registering and installing VFS .
