I am dealing with a hard disk problem that is formated using the Fast File
System.  I know almost nothing about FFS and have no documentation for it.
I have lots of other documentation but not that stuff.  One of the things
I was wondering is how does it ensure data integrity.  So my two questions
are

1) How does the FFS deal with data integrity?  Is there some kind of
   checksum or other protection mechanism?

2) Where can I find detailed specifications of the FFS?

Thanks,
