In 1982, I worked at Bell Labs and implemented a hardened Unix file
system for a fault tolerant Unix derivative that was used in telephony.

This work was much more aggressive than what was eventually out into
System V;  However, the system V hardening was based on that work as
well as other work within BTL.
 
My work was published as a ``Short Communication'' in SOFTWARE - PRACTICE 
AND EXPERIENCE, Vol 13, pgs. 385-387.  If you'd like, email to me, and I
can send you a copy.
