I'm working on a design for a log-structured FS with things like high
availability and dynamic volumes (i.e., add/remove disks on the fly)
in mind. Current working-name is "XLFS", likely to change regularly
until I turn an alpha version loose on the list ;-)

There's a project called "dtfs" which is a log-structured system that
borrows heavily from ext2. The author has a good number of white
papers spread around the site describing design decisions, goals, etc:

Another LFS project for Linux, including links to lots of the
"seminal" papers and documentation on LFS's:
