Please correct me if I'm wrong. But I heard that Kirk (or perhaps someone else)
is continuing softupdates development with the intent of removing any
dependency for fsck.

Actually, for the record, XFS only logs file metadata.

Well, if you have a copy of the "Daemon Book", chapters 6 - 8 would probably
be a good place to start. Also, for geneneral FS design I highly recommend
Dominic Giampaolo's book "Practical File System Design".
