An interesting item from NTT

NILFS is a log-structured file system developed for the Linux kernel
2.6. NILFS is an abbreviation of the New Implementation of a
Log-structured File System. A log-structured file system has the
characteristic that all file system data including metadata is written
in a log-like format. Data is never overwritten, only appended in this
file system. This greatly improves performance because there is little
overhead regarding disk seeks. NILFS also has the following specific
features:
Slick snapshots.
B-tree based file and inode management.
Immediate recovery after system crash.
64-bit data structures; support many files, large files and disks.
Loadable kernel module; no recompilation of the kernel is required
