It basically worked, but there are definitely some caveats:
There were some bugs, the recovery process (and other file
system tools) had not yet been written, integration into
the kernel was not as clean as it could have been.  The
Harvard systems group has been doing some good work on trying
to make it competitive with FFS and in cleaning up the loose
ends that were left.

For more details and for bug fixes, contact Margo Seltzer,
margo@das.harvard.edu.
