Reiser4's walking of the directory block tree sounds a lot like FreeBSD's Soft Updates: FS changes are written to disk in an order that prevents crashes from corrupting user data or FS meta-data on disk.

When Reiser4 is creating new copies of directory blocks, I wonder how it handles multiple, simultaneous changes to the same directory blocks?
