safe file systems

Do you think it would be possible to build a safe, slow file system?
By safe, I mean that I could hit reset in the middle of 50 parallel
un-tars and reboot the system and the file system comes up clean (no fsck,
but data loss)?

Has anyone thought about this very much? If so, is there a mailing list or
archive that I can browse?

Thanks.
