Two sources of information for the BSD LFS:
An Implementation of a Log-Structured Filesystem for UNIX (postscript
available at ftp.sage.usenix.org in the collection of papers for the
winter `93 usenix).
File System Performance and Transaction Support, PhD. thesis by Margo
Seltzer.
I forget the report number for the PhD. thesis, but you should be able to
get it by sending mail to tr-help@cs.berkeley.edu and asking them for help.
