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

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".
