I am looking for references regarding fault tolerent, "safe" file system.
Our group is developing Mass Storage Subsystem. We need to meet following
goals related to file system.
 
1. Single failure of "media hardware or software" shold not cause a
   irrecoverable loss of data.

2. Better recovery techniques shold be provided (FSCK is far too slow on
   a "standard" sized file system, it will be impossible for an MSS sized
   file system.

Pointers from netters will be much appreciated.
