There are no "manuals" for OS Development (that's why this board exists!)

There's also so many different breads of file systems that it's impossible to give you a "here's how to make a file system" document.  Just check out the docs for different file systems and either choose one, or design your own based on those ideas.

File systems are rarely language dependant (I've never seen one...), so your choice of C++ wont effect your file system in any way.  If you wanted to, you could create an implementation of, for example, Ext2FS in C++ (even though the original support + utilities are written in C).

Actually, there is something of a manual on FS development. Check out Dominic GIampalo's book on the BFS filesystem (just search Amazon.com for BFS).
