Hi All,
I am interested in getting more in depth about about how to write
filesystem utilities for OS X. I would like to learn, does anyone
have any information and/or resources that I can read?
Thanks,

You can find sources for most of the command line file system
utilities online.
Technical Note TN2071 "Porting Command Line Unix Tools to Mac OS X" <http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2002/tn2071.html

(that aren't already part of Mac OS X) to Mac OS X.
If you're looking at writing an utility that directly manipulates a
volume's data structure, you'll need to look at the documentation for
that volume format (and you'll need to be VERY VERY VERY careful not
to screw up the disk). Technical Note TN1150 "HFS Plus Volume Format"
<http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn/tn1150.html> covers the HFS
Plus volume format.
