Today, support for metadata journaling has been added to NetBSD's implementation of the Berkeley Fast File System (FFS), eliminating the need for lengthy file system checks after a crash or power failure. Support for converting existing file systems to use the new journaling capabilities is provided as well. See the official announcement
for all the details.

Soft-updates and the log-structured filesystem (LFS). But soft-updates are fairly complex, and LFS does not have the same proven reliability as FFS. So, the addition of journaling to FFS is great, and a very nice contribution from Wasabi!
