LFS, the Log Structured File System. I read a paper about it 
some time ago and it sounds interresting. It is not ready for
the Big Show, so don't trust on it.
The other way is the good old FFS with softupdates. More secure
and faster, but needs more RAM. This can be a problem on machines
like the VAX, where some buffers / memory pools have a fixed, small 
size... I got lots of crashes wirh softdeps on my VAX. Fortunately 
this seams to be gone with the recent ELF snapshot.
