FFSv{1,2} doesn't do journalling, if you wish so you can take a look at
LFS. FFS now uses soft updates that does ordened writes to make sure that
the meta data is consistent. It performs better than a journalling fs (i
wonder how many flames i'll recieve because of this statement :-)).
There is a paper on this topic:
