Well, I don't think any particular book will help you. For file system 
programming you must understand these things 

1) Virtual File system layer of the particular OS
2) Virtual memory and buffer caches
3) Design of the file system which includes the data structures used in 
the file system and the various algorithms used in it.

If you want to program in FreeBSD then I would recommend 'The Design and 
Implementation of FreeBSD' book for the internals.
