matt,
when i recall it right, someone told me about a paper presented at
usenix about logging to a single disk which is exactly the thing that
would do the job here. it was, i think, discussed in a very terse
fashion on -hackers last year. the idea was that a single disk for
logging purposes would be sufficient in terms of spindle speed and much
cheaper than a raid setup and it would not require from-scratch
development of a log structured filesystem because it would sit
between the fs abstraction and io layers.
