There is also a book at the BeFS filesystem:

Dominic Giampaolo now works at Apple on APFS.
My APFS container corrupted itself while working at Apple and Dominic was able to manually repair it enough for me to be able to mount it
He lives in Maine, though, so he did it over SSH!
You mean like HFS+ and Spotlight?
