I m a newbie in the kernel domain. I want to read and learn everything
about the filesystem starting from basic concepts, design,

Can u please point me to the correct sources like some links and books?
Both the book suggestions you got are good for general kernel topics but I
don't believe there's a book that focusses specifically on filesystems.
Linux ofcourse supports a large number of filesystems so as to your "the
filesystem": if you are talking about ext2/ext3, this old article is the
first step for learning about those:
http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net/ext2intro.html
The MINIX FS is nicely described in the MINIX book ("Operating Systems,
Design and Implementation", Tanenbaum/Woodhull) and reiserfs has online
resources at www.namesys.com for example.
If you are talking about the VFS (the bit of Linux that sits just above all
those different actual filesystems) then "Understanding the Linux Kernel"
(Bovet/Cesati) might be most useful.
