I was in the same situation when I started to write vmwfs (a filesystem to 
access VMware shared folders) ;-)
There is some documentation on the subject: 
http://factory.haiku-os.org/documentation/Haiku_Book_doxygen/html/fs_modules.html.
The fat and iso9660 filesystems are relatively simple to understand.
You can also take a look at the vmwfs sources at 
http://dev.osdrawer.net/projects/vmwaddons/repository/show/trunk/vmwfs, but I 
don't guarantee that I did everything correctly :-p

Regards,
Vincent
