[xfs-masters] Re: xfs 1.3.1 patch for kernel 2.4.19?

I don't think we -do- guarantee ordered writes during journal replay... 
   any context for this question?

All of the original design docs are at
http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/design_docs/xfsdocs93_pdf/

there are also talks & papers at 
http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/publications.html which may have some 
useful info.
