--- BTW, I don't think that writing to unallocated parts of disk is good idea. These filesystems have cool write benchmarks, but one subtle (and unbenchmarkable) problem: They group files according to time when they were created and not according to directory hierarchy. When the user has directory with project files and he edited different files at different times, normal filesystems will place the files near each other (so that "grep blabla *" is fast) and log-structured filesystems will scatter the files over the whole disk.
